Catalina Island boat buddy

I have a 1998 20' Four winns cuddy and want to go to Catalina over night to Avalon.
I want to go out of Newport harbor since its close. I have gps, vhf, flares, vessel assist.
I am looking for someone to buddy boat with who has experience. Looking end of september, but am open to other dates.

Not to promote another site, but if you want to find a boat buddy, you will probably do better over at the boatingabc site.

They have quite a few members that do just what you are asking about (both buddying up and going to Catalina in a cuddy).

Doing Catalina on the hook is an awesome experience!

Good luck!

Also try www.bloodydecks.com for a buddy boat .

I was in So. Cal last week end and the weather in the AM was perfect for a channel crossing , coming back in the afternoon is not bad as your going down swell.

We were off the east end in a 18' SEAWAY cc
