Lets say two people set out and try to do Long Beach to Catalina. 14
foot flat skiff (jon boat) with a 2HP motor (4 stroke).

Boat is un-sinkable. Would you try it, and what conditions? What
would you take other than obvious? Obvious, sat phone, flares, food
and water, oh yeah, fire extinguisher. Gots to being the poles.
hehe!

Just thinking out loud.

Take care,


Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
Santa Catalina, the island of romance
Romance, romance, romance

Water all around it everywhere
Tropical trees and the salty air
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there, romance

It seems so distant, twenty-six miles away
Restin' in the water serene
I'd work for anyone, even the Navy
Who would float me to my island dream

Twenty-six miles, so near yet far
I'd swim with just some water-wings and my guitar
I could leave the wings
But I'll need the guitar for romance
Romance, romance, romance

Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
Santa Catalina, the island of romance

A tropical heaven out in the ocean
Covered with trees and girls
If I have to swim, I'll do it forever
'Til I'm gazin' on those island pearls

Forty kilometers in a leaky old boat
Any old thing that'll stay afloat
When we arrive we'll all promote romance
Romance, romance, romance

Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
Santa Catalina
The island of romance
Romance, romance, romance

Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me

ps.. I wouldn't think of trying it in my aluminum Yukon 15 with it's 25 hp
outboard.
