Carry enough fuel for the entire trip. Summertime isn't very windy in the AM. First stop at Two Harbors from MDR. It's 32 NM and is a quiet peaceful harbor. Ask for a mooring to the right of the pier, but if you have a small boat, they may require you tie to the "String Line". Check the charts entering Two Harbors , as there is a shoal to watch out for. -----Original Message----- From: Tyler Heerwagen <theerwagen@yahoo.com> To: montgomery_boats <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Fri, Aug 2, 2013 3:32 pm Subject: M_Boats: Tips on Sailing from Marina Del Rey to Catalina?
