Further onto Anacapa island, if you so choose</h1> <h2>Day 1</h2> <p>Get ready for your adventure trip! In the morning, we will provision and pack up the boat with your personal belongings, food, kayaks, dinghy, and other gear as needed. Then, we will depart Newport and set sail for a secluded cove on the back side or west end of Catalina Island. Along the way, we'll look for sea lions, dolphins, and fish; in the winter, maybe even a Gray whale! Throw a hook out and trawl for some fish. Hone your sail and navigation skills. Arrive at Catalina Island and anchor. Kayak or dinghy ashore, then stretch your legs and go for a scenic hike! When you return to the boat, enjoy a BBQ on board. Relax with a beverage and spend the night at anchor in Catalina.</p> <h2>Day 2</h2> <p>Wake up and depart Catalina for Santa Barbara Island. You'll enjoy the excitement and exhilaration which comes with leaving the familiar and venturing off to the remote island that few people ever get to visit. Experience ocean sailing and smile when the welcoming party of playful sea lions greets you! When we arrive, we'll double anchor. Then, you'll have time to photograph nature at its finest with dramatic sea caves and staggering arches. Now, go claim the island as your own! Chances are that you and your party will be the only group on the island. </p> <h2>Day 3</h2> <p>Wake up early and prepare for a deep water sail from Santa Barbara island to Santa Cruz island. Experience the open ocean and learn navigation skills with a captain at your side. Look out for migrating whales, dolphins and sea lions. Arrive on the south side of Santa Cruz island and anchor for the night at one of the beautiful and protected anchorages of Willows or Coches Prietas. </p> <h2>Day 4</h2> <p>Start the day with a good breakfast and check out the garibaldi in the exceptionally clear water of Willows anchorage. Sail to the north side of the island and choose to kayak at Scorpian Bay or Painted Cave (the largest sea cave in the world). Put on your helmet and be prepared for some tight squeezes! Kayaking through sea caves is a definite highlight to any adventure trip. Admire an abundance of star fish clinging to the rocks and garibaldi swimming beneath you. This is a day of exploration you will not soon forget. </p> <h2>Day 5</h2> <p>Sail back to Santa Barbara Island or Catalina Island, depending on weather conditions. If you don't know how to already, you'll learn how to fly the asymmetrical spinnaker on the boat. Anchor for the night and celebrate your last evening on the boat. </p> <h2>Day 6</h2> <p>Enjoy your sail back to Newport and further hone your sailing skills. You can also practice using radar, GPS, and the chart plotter. Now, try it the old fashioned way with a parallel ruler, a compass, and a chart. Are you close? Practice steering straight even in a following swell. How fast can you sail, how fast can you motorsail? Most importantly, realize that with sailing, it's the journey and not the destination that matters most. So, enjoy your return trip home, and let the trip sink in (no pun intended)! </p> <h2>Price: $3950<br> <span style="font-size: 11px;"><em>Up to 4 people</em></span></h2> <p>All pricing includes use of boat, US Coast Guard licensed captain, insurance, fuel, mooring fees, and cleaning.
