So California

[Terri-Ann]

Does anyone know of a rendezvous in so cal ? Catalina island or ?

Sounds fun. My bayliner is in Florida though. 😃

Set it up, we’ll be there! 👍

Thanks Jim!
I have been the cruise director before .The final destination was the isthmus Catalina island . It is a lot of work involved. And the isthmus harbor department was very accommodating.
Now under the new managment with the catalina consortium . They really could care less if large groups decended on the island.
Open anchorage in lets say newport harbor main channel turning basin, white s island long beach or guest docks in dana point harbor could also be an option? That might be a little easier to set up.

The first thing i would have to know . And is the first question that is asked " How many boats will be attending" & how many people will be comming"
I can do some poking around and call some of my old contacts.

Unless they cancel Airventure this year I’ll be in Oshkosh , Wi the last three weeks of July. Other than that count me in!

Depending on dates, we could be there. The boat is in Alamitos Bay, near Jim's.

[Terri-Ann]

Lets say..somewhere around 3rd weekend in August? Destination to be established ? That makes 3 boats

[Jim_Gandee]

I’m sure we’ll get more than three boats. As you’re able to cement dates and locations more will chime in.

[Jeffw]

We sold our boat, so we're out, unfortunately. Wish it could have happened...

[Terri-Ann]

A bummer for sure .. Covid placed a real dent in things .
There is always next season .

Terri, I’ll bet that if we coordinate and advertise a semi-official SoCal BOC get together we’d get a pretty darn good group! We’d have to calendar a date well in advance so folks could plan. The destination could be one of several spots including Avalon, any place at the Isthmus ( Cherry Cove, Emerald Bay, Fourth of July cove), Newport and the other locations you suggested.

I’ll be there. I am in San Diego and there are no less that 10 Meridians at my marina!
