We made it eventually, but is was a fairly rough ride. :messedup:

At least you made safe.....Did you get to moor the boat??

We never made it to Catalina. Barry had a starboard side engine hiccup. Think it got flooded and then just wouldn't start. Finally got it working but then didn't want to risk shutting it off over at Catalina and possibly getting stuck, as we weren't exactly sure what the problem was. It was running a little hot on the way back in too, so he might have a water pump going out?
But still fun cruising around. That 34' Shockwave is solid in the ocean. I was really impressed with the ride.

Glad you made it back Tom. Oh Ya, BL's at 530 am? think it's time for Betty Ford

Yup, we got a spot right up front without any problems.

Did you guys make it to Catalina or just cruised around ??
About 12 miles offshore, we ran into constant swells that limited our speed to about 25mph. I was worried that it would only get worse on the way back so we came back to the harbors and cruised around.

What size is your boat? Is it a 25 Shockwave? If so, you would have been fine.

YUP, 25'. At the speed we were going, it would have taken about 45 minutes. Being an ocean virgin, it was a bit intimidating especially since we couldn't see the island or the shore. But I'm ready to try again.
