From the Catalina Island Avalon Harbor Report

Harbor officers aboard Rescue 2 responded to Willow Cove where a 65' motor
yacht had run aground. Officers boarded the vessel shut down its engines and
searched for persons aboard. No persons were found aboard the vessel.
Baywatch Avalon and County Fire 55 investigated further. A search was
started to try and locate anyone who may have fallen overboard. Rescue 2 and
other units suspended their search after the sole occupant was located
clinging to a navigational buoy 1 mile outside of Los Angeles. " [WC is
about 25 to 30 miles from Los Angeles.]

I'm glad this fellow was found alive.

I wonder if he set course for the Willow Cove beach or did he get lucky with
a soft landing instead of on the rocks. I've included a photo of Willow
Cove; because it's there. http://www.kayakcatalinaisland.com/willow.gif

There's no real point to this post, I'm just killing time.
