Staying overnight at Cabrillo Beach and leaving early in the morning is the shortest and best way to get to Avalon.

Toothpicks work great to fill a hole. Just break of at the depth you need and depending how much bigger the hole is add more toothpicks. I have used this for years and it works great and they are free. Every restaurant gives them away.

I also bought the Baltic 8.5 boat and have used it over in Catalina and our local lake. It is a great boat, inflates fast and easy and somewhat rolls up for storage . The inflatable floor is great. Would buy it again. I paid $650 with shipping last year. I put a piece of carpet on the seat to keep f...

I bought the same boat and it is great. Easy to handle, great construction. It works well with a new Minkota 50lb thrust. Suggestion put some non skid on the seat. I think it is as well built as the better known boats. 8.5' only good for 3 people. Air floor is super.

I owned an 04 26M blue for 1 1/2 yrs. If I were going over again I definetly would not order blue. It is a great color but you need to see some that have been used for a while. Any marks show easily. I waxed mine a lot having it next to my house and I just never stayed looking great. The balck is ho...

Make sure you leave with all sails down and engine running and locked. It can be tricky as I found out once. Also full ballast. When you exit there is a T at the end. I turned left with my sails up and forgot to fill the ballast. I caught a strong gust of wind. I thought we were going over or hit th...
