Agreed. Hence the caveat.


I have an aquaintance that grew up in the San Pedro area. He tells of
taking 14' O/B over to Catalina. Lot more HP than 2. Said his guardian
angels had to be doing a good job. As he survived. Jetskis make the trip
all the time, but at 40-50 mph, you are looking at less than an hour travel
31 miles from Alamitos Harbor to Avalon. We were planning on going over
last Monday for an overnight, but the winds told us no.
