This documents our overnight trip to the Isthmus - Two Harbors in Catalina Island in July 2023. Just for background, the boat is a 40 foot modern yacht so it's pretty high tech. No manual labor required. Everything is electric. So very easy to operate even single handed. When going to Catalina we often want to arrive early in the day. Thus we leave at dawn. But this means no wind. Similarly you are kicked out of your mooring by 9am at the latest, so it also means departing early. This means that on this schedule, you pretty much have to motor or motor sail. The distance from Marina del Rey to the Isthmus is 32 nautical miles which we handle in 4 hours typically.
