To all interested in the Catalina trip. I got a reply back from Captain Howie, the SO-Cal Potters event co-ordinator (I made up the title). Visit and bookmark the site. Lots of So-Cal boat trips, already organized. Read the reply... ""Re Catalina and the SoCal Potters, you and your fellow skippers are always more than welcome at any of our events. In fact Fu-Shing and his wife are amoung our most consistant participants. I will soon be updating the Catalina link from the "2005 Events" page to include more details of the tentative itinerary for this year's event. I will make sure to include an official invitation to all small boat skippers. Great to hear you are going, I think we will have a pretty good sized flotilla of boats for this years outing"".
