Dear Marina Sailing Patrons,
Please be advised all of out boats are covered by Boat Us Towing Service. However, to Reduce to Risk and need for being towed here are a few simple concepts to considers :
ENGINE
1) Check fuel before you start2) Check belts & fluids (oil,coolent)3) Does the engine release exhaust water4) What is the engine temperature5) You pay Dearly for a "Jump" at sea
POWER
1) At Anchor, Don't forget to sat the " Main Break" to "House" to isolate your EngineStarting Battery from . And only start on one Battery2) Use Power /Lights/Stereo Conservatively3) Charge both batteries (as needed) before they get low and before 10.00 pm4) Always start the engine first before pulling the Anchor up with the Windlass
LINES
1) Clear all Dock lines and stow them below-to avoid getting in the prop2) Sheets, Roller furling lines and Dock lines can foul A Prop- Check + " CLEAR " alllines before putting the engine in gear.
Remember, You Can be towed - Towing is Slow, Time Consuming, VERY Costly + generally not FUN!
Let's try to avoid Towing..... Thank You.
Safety Information
E M E R G E N C Y A N D A C C I D E N T P R O C E D U R E S Radio Procedures/Marine Emergency DistressA. If you are in distress (i.e., threatened by grave and imminent danger) orobserve another vessel in distress, transmit the International Distress Callon Channel 16: “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY — THIS IS .” State the call sign of the vessel in distress—or the name of your boat if nocall sign has been assigned—and repeat it three times. SPEAK SLOWLYAND CLEARLY.
If you are aboard the vessel in trouble, state:1. WHO you are (your vessel’s call letters and name).2. WHERE you are (give your vessel’s position in latitude/longitude ortrue bearing and distance in nautical miles from a widely knowngeographical point). Remember that local names known only in theimmediate vicinity are confusing.3. WHAT the problem is aboard your boat.4. Type of assistance needed.5. Number of people aboard and condition of any injured.6. Present seaworthiness of your vessel.7. Description of your vessel (length, type, cabin, masts, power, color ofhull, superstructure and trim).
8. Your listening frequency and schedule.
If you observe another vessel in distress, give:1. Your position and, if possible, the bearing and distance of the vessel in
difficulty.2. Nature of distress.3. Description of vessel in distress (see item 7 above).4. Your intentions, course, speed, etc.5. Your radio call sign, name of your vessel, listening frequency and schedule.
NOTE: The international sign for an aircraft that wants to direct a surface craft to a vessel in distress is: Circling the surface craft, opening and closing the throttle or changing propeller pitch (noticeable by change in sound) while crossing ahead of the surface craft, and proceeding in the direction of the vessel in distress. If you receive such a signal, you should follow the aircraft. If you cannot do so, try to inform the aircraft by any available means.
If your assistance is no longer needed, the aircraft will cross your wake, opening and closing the throttle or changing the propeller pitch. If you are radio-equipped, you should attempt to communicate with the aircraft on
Channel 16 when the aircraft makes the above signals or makes any obvious attempt to attract your attention. In the event you cannot communicate by radio, be alert for a message block dropped from the aircraft.B. If you need information or assistance from the Coast Guard (other thanin a distress), call COAST GUARD on Channel 16 (The Distress and Calling Frequency). In this situation, you will normally be shifted to a common working frequency (21, 22 or 23) allowing the DISTRESS frequency to remain open.
Radio Checks: Do not use Channel 16 to call the Coast Guard merely for a radio check. Such use is prohibited by the Federal Communications Commission.
C. After the emergency is over, notify the Coast Guard promptly.
Accident ReportingBoat operators involved in an accident must: (1) provide their name, address and vessel registration number to other involved parties; (2) render assis-tance to any injured people; and (3) in case of a death or disappearance, report the accident without delay to law enforcement officials.
■
■
A person dies within 24 hours of the accident, disappears, or is injured and requires medical treatment beyond first aid.
Total damage to all vessels involved and other property is more than $500 or there is complete loss of a vessel.
In all other incidents requiring a written accident report, the report must be made within 10 days of the accident. Failure to comply with the above requirements is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 or imprisonment up to six months, or both.
This booklet contains an accident report form that may be used for such incidents. Forms are also available through most sheriffs’ and harbormasters’ offices and many police departments. They may also be obtained by contacting DBW or by visiting www.dbw.ca.gov.
False Search and Rescue CallsAny individual who reports to a state or local agency that an emergency exists, knowing that the report is false, is guilty of a misdemeanor and can be found liable for the expense of the emergency response. An emergency includes any condition that results in, or could result in, the response of a public official in an authorized emergency vehicle, vessel or aircraft.
It is a felony for any individual to report or cause any report to be made to any state or local government agency that an emergency exists if he or she knows or should know that the response to the report is likely to cause death or great bodily injury and such injury or death is sustained by any person as a result of the false report.

CHANNEL ISLANDS HARBOR
VENTURA HARBOR
At Harbor Village in Ventura, there are a wide variety of restaurants and guest slips available on C-dock in front of Milano’s Italian Restaurant. You must call in advance, 805-218-4888, to reserve a courtesy guest slip for lunch.
When entering Ventura Harbor, you will see improvements being made to the design of the harbor entrance, and frequent dredging to make it safer. Enter or exit via the main entrance only, between the two jetties. The area behind the breakwater is designed as a Sand Trap and is subject to severe shoaling.
The entrance buoy “2VU” is located approximately ½ mile off he entrance. Skippers always keep this buoy to starboard when entering, making sure you are far away from the mouth of the Santa Clara River, which lies ½ mile south of the harbor entrance. As a naturally running river, the Santa Clara River provides a tremendous amount of sand to the local beaches, but unfortunately, it can create heavy surf conditions further out to sea.
If day anchored at Anacapa, we recommend a maximum time of 3 hours, as the conditions change regularly, and the lead time will allow you to sail back to Channel Islands Harbor before it gets dark. There is No aNchoriNg oN the WeSt SiDe oF aNacaP a iSlaND as it is very rough.
Stay away from the mooring ball at each anchorage; they are only for the Park Service.
Approaching Anacapa, it has a remarkable profile, visible for miles. We recoMMeND the aNchorageS BeloW :
FreNchY’S cove - See approach and detailed anchoring instructions on page 254 of the Cruising Guide. A good day anchoring spot whenconditions are calm. Approach from the East end of West Island, Frenchy’s Cove lies immediately west of the passage, off a rock and sand beach. To minimize surge, lay a second anchor. The bay is completely open from NW to NE. This anchorage is famous for its tide pools and caves. Be particularly careful of dense kelp beds.
No overNight aNchoriNg
ANACAPA ISLAND OVERNIGHT IS NOT ALLOWED
On Anchoring
1. Avoid a late afternoon arrival at your chosen cove. In general, late afternoon arrival presents two problems:much stronger winds, and fewer coves to choose from.
2. Be prepared to anchor bow and stern when there is not room to swing on a single hook. This is generally arequirement on most of the north side anchorages on Santa Cruz, including Cueva, Lady’s, Fry’s, Orizaba, andTwin Harbors. In general, motor to the shallow end of the cove, deploy your stern anchor, then motor out and setthe bow anchor.
3. Anchorages on Santa Cruz where you can generally swing on a single hook include at the West End, Forney’sCove; on the North side, Pelican Bay, Prisoner’s, Scorpion and Little Scorpion; off the East End, Smuggler’sprovides plenty of room.
4. Down canyon winds are a regular occurrence at coves that lie beneath the canyons of Santa Cruz. As the airon the peaks and ridges cools down, it descends and picks up speed like a river, and comes gushing out of thecanyon’s mouth onto the boats at anchor. When this happens you will be lying primarily to your shorewardanchor in what could be gusty winds.
5. Pay attention to how the other boats are anchored, and act accordingly. On the North side, particularly atFry’s, you may observe other boats anchored with their primary anchor and bow pointed toward shore. If yousee this, ask the other boats about the down canyon winds at night. You will probably want to do the same.
6. Stay flexible in your choice of anchorage. If your favorite cove is too crowded, or if you don’t like how yourboat lies, move on well before dark.
7. Stay flexible while you are at anchor. Pay attention to changing conditions and have alternative plans inmind.
8. On Santa Cruz in the narrow coves and particularly at Lady’s, Orizaba, and Twin Harbors, be prepared for theNorthwest wind to bounce off the Eastern wall and circulate in such a way as to push the boat toward theWestern wall of the cove.
9. Make certain you can disconnect the bitter end of your anchor rodes on very short notice. In unsettledconditions if you might have to leave in a hurry, prepare by running the bitter end of the anchor rodes back outthrough the chocks with fenders tied to the end for flotation. This way you’ll be able to get out when you needto, and retrieve your anchors later.
10. If you are finding it overly difficult to control your boat while setting bow and stern anchors due to sidewinds in a narrow cove, you should probably pick another anchorage.
11. Mentally prepare yourself to keep an anchor watch. You may not need it at all. But if conditions deteriorate,keep a watch.
Equipment
• Three anchors and rodes sized appropriately for your boat, each with a boat-length of chain at minimum.• One extra 300’ anchor rode with 50’ of chain.• Dinghy and outboard capable of motoring into 20 knots of wind.• Trip line and buoy with your boat’s name on it - especially useful at Orizaba.

3) Shoals Near the Coronado Bridge: It is safest to pass through at the wide span, in the main channel. There is a large shoal area right in the middle of what would seem the logical “shortcut” into Glorietta Bay. The shoal extends to the red nun buoy on the South side. There is also a large shoal extending from
the Naval Amphibious Base, All the way to green buoy #1!
4) South San Diego Bay: Lots of shoals, some submerged wrecks in the anchorages…Too many to list here. Stay in the marked channels!
5) Kelp beds around Point Loma: Keep a careful watch for the floating kelp beds in and around the tip of Point Loma. Care must be given to avoid the kelp as it can become wrapped around the boat’s propeller and keel.
No Night Sailing. Boats need to be securely anchored in a designated overnight anchorage or back at the dock by
dusk.
Hazards and Tips on Visiting Mission Bay
How about a cruise to Mission Bay? Here are a few navigational tips for a trip from San Diego Bay
Be careful to stay about two miles offshore as you go around Point Loma, in order to avoid the kelp beds. Sometimes
you cannot see the kelp until you are nearly surrounded by it. You may have to continue North until you are abeam the
entrance, then head East. The amount of kelp can vary on the tide. At low tide, more is floating on the surface.
6) The south Jetty has not had a light or marker for years now. There is a lighted red buoy about 100 yards out.
(Red Right Returning). The north Jetty has a green daymarker and a green light. On rare occasions, in storms or
large swells, this entrance can have breakers, usually worse toward the South side. Depending upon seas, don’t
pass too close to the south jetty.
7) There is a 72 hour anchorage in Mariner’s Cove, to the left as soon as you round the corner. To the right,
Quivira Basin has slips, at Islandia Marina, Marina Village, and Driscoll Mission Bay. Call in advance to reserve a
guest slip. Use caution when entering Quivira Basin, as the sea wall makes a relatively narrow entrance, with a
blind corner.
Between Labor Day and Memorial Day, you can enjoy the Sea World fireworks display, usually around 9:30pm.
little ScorPioN aNchorage - See references in the Cruising Guide on page 224 - 226. Both Scorpions and Little Scorpions are readily identified by finding San Pedro Point. Approaching from the East, identify Cavern Point and 2 detached rocks lying inshore. From the West, follow the coast from Cavern Point until the rocks are identified and the anchorage opens up. Anchor in 22-45 feet in the lee of the two rocks and as close to the rocks as safely possible. As you approach, give the 2 white stained rocks West of Little Scorpions a berth of at least 100 yards. If you smell bird droppings get out of Scorpions. thiS aNchorage iS Not gooD iN StroNg Ne aND NW WiNDS.
Potato harBor - See references on page 223 of the Cruising Guide. Exposed to Westerly’s. Pull out if wind shifts to NW. This anchorage offers shelters from NE and SE winds. When approaching, locate a patch of white rocks West of Cavern Point. Potato Harbor lies just East of those white slopes. Anchoring is just slightly North of the center of the bay and offers shelter behind the outcrop. Stay 1/2 mile offshore until you line up to the anchorage. Anchor off the beach in 25-30 feet of water avoiding rocks and kelp in the NE corner.
iF a SteeP SWell coMeS iN FroM Ne iN Dr Y coNDitioNS, leave all harBorS FroM PriSoNer’S to FrY’S.
PriSoNer’S harBor - See reference on page 219 of the Cruising Guide. Prisoner’s Harbor is the main landing for the Island, and is now under National Park Service jurisdiction. So are all anchorages East of this bay. Approaching Prisoner’s from the NE or NW, steer towards the low point until the pier and buildings are in sight, and head for the pier. Anchoring should be towards the pier until you are in 50 feet then choose your anchoring spot. Do not anchor inshore of the pier head as the bottom shelves rapidly.
SANTA CRUZ ISLAND NORTH SIDE (continued)PELICAN BAY - See references on page 216 of the Cruising Guide. Can be rolly and have surge. The anchorage can be bumpy, holding ground is patchy and the landing is sticky. Approaching you will notice the conspicuous yellow cliffs on the West side and the patch of trees that form the West side. Anchoring offers more than 50 feet at the entrance. Drop anchor in 25-35 feet farther inshore. Best is the shelter of the West cliff with sufficient distance to avoid back surge from the rocks.
FRY’S HARBOR - See references on page 209 of the Cruising Guide. Good shelter but suicidal in strong NE winds. Stay clear of the eastern side of the cove. Approach is easy from either direction along the North shore. When anchoring, watch out for kelp lying off the cliffs at Diablo Point. Also note that sudden shifting gusts can blow off these cliffs. Anchor in 50 feet off the beach and as close as the boat will safely allow. Use both anchors and make sure second anchor is well dug in.
PAINTED CAVE (No Anchorage) - See reference on page 201 of the Cruising Guide. This is not an anchorage, merely a fascina-tion spot, that is easily reached on a calm day. The cave lies West of Profile Point. Lie the boat offshore with someone onboard, and take turns using a dinghy to see the caves. Never attempt entering the caves when there is a heavy surge or strong westerly’s blowing. Visit the caves in the morning when winds are calm. The walls of the cave are 80’ high and the ceiling rises to 125 feet. Magnificent colors of green, yellow and red can be seen on the cave walls.
SANTA CRUZ ISLAND SOUTH SIDEFOR OVERNIGHT ANCHORING AT SANTA CRUZ WE RECOMMEND:Smuggler’s Cove, Coches Prietos or Prisoner’s. Often, only one anchor is required with plenty of room to swing. The rest of the anchorages may require two anchors, with a skiff needed to set the second anchor to minimize surge or anchor swing. Always check to see how the other boats are anchored. If everyone has two anchors out, then you need to do the same. Beware of Gull Island on the South side of Santa Cruz; pass it safely at least 0.5 miles outside the kelp.

SMUggler’S cove - gooD iN calM Weather - See reference on page 228 of the Cruising Guide. Best shelter lies under the cliffs on the NW side of the bay. Approach from Anacapa or Channel Islands. The yellow-brown cliffs can be seen from a distance on a clear day. These light colored bluffs lie immediately SW of Smugglers Cove. Smugglers opens up on your starboard bow as you approach. Anchor far enough offshore to minimize the effects of ground swell, beware of shallow areas at the head of the anchorage. At the first sign of a swell from NE, particularly on calm, dry, clear days; and usually noted by smog on the horizon, all which indicate an impeding Santa Ana, leave thiS aNchorage at oNce. Also leave if a SE swell and dark clouds indicate an approaching southeaster.
YelloWBaNKS aNchorage - See reference on page 230 of the Cruising Guide. Beware of the rock in 18 feet of water off the South side of the bay. Clear out at the first sign of a NE or SE wind. Watch for rapid shallowing near the beach. The approach is the same as Smugglers, but the anchorage lies under the yellow-brown cliffs just to the SW. As you identify the Yellow banks cliff, and the steep V-shaped canyon that runs into the anchorage, anchor off the beach in 25-30 feet of water. Watch for rapid shallowing near the beach.
cocheS PrietoS - See reference on page 234 of the Cruising Guide. This is the best anchorage on the southern side of the island. Good shelter from N &W winds, and the best cove for protection from NW winds. It does get uncomfortable anchorage when a swell is running. Approach near the foot of the valley formed by the beautiful semicircular sandy beach. From the West, once beyond Bowen Point, identify the sloping strata of headland just beyond the anchorage. Anchor in 15-25 feet of water off the beach. Try to tuck in behind the kelp and West cliff as much as possible. Do not anchor just inside the reef due to algae on the bottom, and the anchor may slip.

Santa Barbara Channel WeatherBefore going boating, become aware of the dynamic weather patterns in the Santa
Barbara Channel. There are many sources available to obtain this information. Thesesources include: newspapers, radio, TV, websites, information kiosks, the VHF/FM marineradio, and the Oxnard National WeatherService office.
www.nwsla.noaa.gov NWS Public Information: (805) 988-6610Marine Weather Radio CH 3for marine weather only
www.channelislands.noaa.govWeather Kiosks located at SantaBarbara and Channel Island Harbors
Always be aware that the weather in the Channel Islands is in a continuous state ofchange. Fog and winds are a challenge to the most experienced boaters. All year expectfog if visibility is decreasing or there is a sudden drop in temperature when the winds arelight and the sky is clear.
From November through April, expect high winds with clear skies and good visibilitywhen the wind is warm and out of the northeast. Also, when the wind shifts to the north-west, expect high winds. Generally, the sky will initially be cloudy with restricted visibility;look for a cold northwest wind to rise with clearing skies and good visibility.
The prevailing sea breeze wind blows from the west to northwest throughout theyear. It typically blows between 11 A.M. and 8 P.M. The average speed is 10 to 20 mph.

Up to 300 large vessels per week travel at any hour,night and day, seven days a week, in the merchant shippinglanes located between the Channel Islands and the coast.SSoommee iimmppoorrttaanntt ffaaccttss ttoo nnoottee aarree:: The northbound andsouthbound lanes are one mile wide, separated from eachother by two miles. The speed of modern cargo vessels canexceed 30 knots. In an emergency, a large ship can takemore than two miles to stop. These ships pose a danger toany smaller vessel in the channel. These ships transit theentire world and there is no assurance that the ship’s bridgeofficer is aware of pleasure boat traffic and/or has goodEnglish language communication skills.
There is a blind zone in front of these large ships due totheir height, their radar’s position, and the position of theircommand bridge. Communication with the ship can bemade on VHF/FM marine radio channel 13 or 16.
Ship Traffic Lanes Pose Danger!
Transmitting Distress CallsWhen grave and imminent danger threatens life or property and immediate help
is required, transmit the MAYDAY Call on Channel 16. Start the call by repeatingMAYDAY three times. Once you have made contact, communicate your boat name,position (latitude and longitude, or distance from known geographical point), prob-lem, type of assistance needed, number of people on board (and if any areinjured), safety equipment on board, and identifying characteristics of your vessel(length, type, color). Monitor Channel 16 for a response.
For non-life-threatening situations such as:• Running out of fuel• Mechanical breakdown
Transmit a PAN-PAN (pronounced PON-PON) URGENCY call on Channel 16. Start the call by repeating PAN-PAN three times. Once you have made contact,communicate your boat name, position (latitude and longitude, or distance fromknown geographical point), and type of assistance required or problem. Identify a listening frequency and monitor that channel. Cancel PAN-PAN when urgency hasbeen resolved.
SECURITIE (pronounced se-cure-i-tay) — this will be broadcast when there areobstructions to safe boating in an area.
It is up to the boater to be aware of this large vesselhazard when crossing the shipping lanes. To minimize tran-sit time in these dangerous areas, cross at a right angle tothe direction to the traffic lane and well astern of any cargovessels, if sea state conditions permit. Refer to a currentmarine navigation chart for details.
Boat Communication: Using the VHF/FM Marine RadioChannel 16 is the hailing and distress channel for this area. Boaters should use VHF CH 16 in an emergency.•Monitor Channel 16 at all times.
•Don’t transmit on Channel 16 when the Coast Guard is using it, unless there is an immediate personal danger.
•Calling another vessel for any reason on Channel 16 when no one else is using it is permitted. State the other vessel’sname three times followed by the name of your vessel (and call signs if available.) Wait one minute to repeat. After threetries without a response, stop the calling sequence for a while. When the call is answered, agree with the other boat toswitch to another channel, such as 68, 69, 71, or 72. No radio checks on Channel 16.

Watching WildlifeTo protect wildlife, landing is prohibited on all offshore rocks and islets.
Under federal law it is illegal to disturb or harass seabirds, seals, and sea lions. Harass-ment may be interpreted as any action that modifies the behavior of birds and mammals.
Boaters need to be cognizant of different seabird nesting seasons and nesting sites at theChannel Islands. Species of concern, like the Xantus’s Murrelet and Pigeon Guillemot, neston rocky sea ledges and in sea caves.
Please observe the marine mammal viewing “code of conduct” by remaining at least 100yards from marine mammals and if approached by a whale, put the engine in neutral andallow the whale to pass. Boat movement should be from the rear of a whale. Federal lawprohibits pursuit of marine mammals.
Some Watchable Wildlife Guidelines include:• Keep your distance to avoid disturbance.• Do not touch any animal even if it appears to be sick, injured, or orphaned.• Never feed wild animals.• Do not use food, calls, whistles, decoys, or other artificial means to attract wildlife.• Leave pets at home—they may startle, chase, and even kill wildlife.• Respect the right of wildlife viewers.• Never get between wildlife and a seaward escape route.• Respect the rights of landowners.• Take only memories and leave only footprints.• Share the joy of wildlife viewing with others, especially children, and teach them about
the importance of not disturbing wildlife or the habitats they depend upon for survival.

San Diego Information
San Diego Harbor Special Hazards to Navigation
Be on the Lookout!
There have been a number of boating accidents in San Diego…collisions with fixed “hazards to navigation.” As
they say, “A collision at sea can ruin your whole day.” Those of you who are “old salts” are probably aware of
all of these, but those of you newer to our harbor should take note. If you don’t already have one, get yourself
a paper nautical chart of San Diego Bay, or find it in your “chart kit”. Even experienced boaters will find it wise
to review the chart from time to time. Use a highlighter to mark any hazards that you find. Here are some
prominent ones, starting at the harbor entrance:
1) Zuniga Jetty: A submerged jetty along the East side of the channel at the harbor entrance, usually
visible at low tide. Marked by sign posts and lights every quarter mile. This jetty has claimed many
boats!
2) Both Ends of Shelter Island: There are shoal areas on both ends. By the time you read the sign on the
West end, you’re already into the shoal area. Don’t “shortcut” the entrance. This area has shallow
water and several buoys and day markers that can be collision hazards. Be extremely vigilant when
returning to Shelter Island from the main San Diego Bay. Be sure to give a wide berth to this area‐
always passing south of marker “Q”. This 22 ft high marker can easily be identified by the red and
white striped placard.
Catalina Island
Information
Two hArbors MArINe serVICes
shoreboatShoreboat service is available year-round in Isthmus Cove, Fourth of July Cove and Cherry Cove. In the summer months, there are also scheduled runs to Howland’s Landing and Emerald Bay. Call VHF, Channel 9/Shoreboat or signal a shoreboat with your horn during the day and with a flashlight at night. Charters are available.Dinghy DockThere are docks in Isthmus Cove and Catalina Harbor for dinghies less than 14 feet in length. Please use a long bow line. Isthmus Pier is used for shoreboat and Harbor Patrol only, although a quick drop-off of passengers is allowed.
Marine Fuel Dock & Pumpout station
Gas, diesel pumpout station and water are available year-round from the fuel dock. Hours: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with extended hours during the summer. Propane is also available on shore. No washdowns permitted.
water ConservationPlease be aware that the Catalina Island water supply is precious. Conservation of water is always appreciated, whether in a drought year or not. Please fill your water tanks before leaving from your home port. Water rationing may become necessary at any time. Thank you for your cooperation.
Trash & recyclingAll Catalina Island trash outside Avalon is shipped to the mainland. Trash must be separated. Put metals and glass in one bag and all else in another bag. The “Salad Bowl” trash pick-up vessel services all leeside coves during summer months. Taking your own trash home is greatly appreciated.
Public restrooms, showers & LaundryThese facilities are open 24 hours, year-round and are located a short distance from the Isthmus Pier.
Catalina harbor, Two harbors Catalina Island’s most protected harbor is also a U.S. Coast Guard “Year-round Safe Harbor” of which there are only two other so designated natural harbors in Southern California. It has 117 moorings and anchorage for over 200. A natural sand spit occurs where theCalifornia Yacht Club has its clubhouse.Marina Del Rey Yacht Club also has facilities
at this harbor. There is a dinghy dock, and picnic facilities on shore and we now have a pumpout service for Cat Harbor boaters. Contact the Harbor Patrol on VHF Channel 9. It’s a half mile walk to the village of Two Harbors from the dock on flat terrain. A shuttle is available on summer weekends.
Isthmus Cove, Two harborsThis large cove at Two Harbors has 257 moorings and anchorages for well over 100. It is a center of boating activity -- thesecond busiest cove on the island (AvalonHarbor is first). Harbor Base for the TwoHarbors Harbor Department is located onthe Isthmus Pier and monitors VHFChannel 9.
4th of July CoveLocated next to Isthmus Cove is this little cove of 42 moorings and deep water (100+ feet) anchorages. The Bannings held many 4th of July celebrations here. Fourth of July Yacht Club leases the facilities on shore.
Emerald BayAround the point, west from Howland’s Landing is beautiful Emerald Bay. It has 102 moorings and anchorage for 5 to 10 boats. There is a long strip of natural sandy beach. Corsair Yacht Club and a Boy Scout Camp have landside facilities here.
MoorINgs eAsT FroM Two hArborsbuttonshell CoveSituated 7 miles east of Isthmus Cove is Buttonshell Cove with 7 moorings and anchorage for 10. The landside facility is leased to the Catalina Island Marine Insti-tute, and is named Camp Fox.
hen rock25 moorings and anchorage for 40 are available here. Shoreside facilities are leased to the Balboa Yacht Club. This is a great snorkeling area.
white’s Landing & Moonstone CoveThese areas are located past Long Point, heading east from Two Harbors and com-bined have 58 moorings and anchorage for 50. Newport Harbor Yacht Club has land-side facilities at Moonstone.
Cherry CoveCherry Cove has 99 moorings and deep water (100+ feet) anchorages. Shoreside, there is a Boy Scout Camp. Up the canyon is a large grove of endemic Catalina Cherry trees and a stand of endemic Ironwoods. A point of land, called Lion’s Head, protects this cove from the afternoon winds.
MoorINg INForMATIoN
If you need assistance, call harbor Patrol on VhF Channel 9.
About AvailabilityDuring the week and on most weekends, moorings are nearly always avail-able, however, availability may be limited on 3-day holiday weekends and on peak summer Saturday nights. Because availability is always on a first-come, first-serve basis, the best chance to secure a Saturday night mooring is to come midweek, and plan to stay through the weekend.
When you arrive, call for the Harbor Patrol on VHF Channel 9 and name the cove where you wish to moor . The Harbor Patrol will meet you just outside the mooring area and give you a mooring as-signment and collect your mooring fees. You will be charged based on the size of the mooring and the length of your stay.
how to Pick up a MooringEach mooring consists of a mooring can, pick-up pole and two weights - bow and stern.
Each weight is attached to lines which need to be attached to your vessel, bow and stern.
(1) Pick up the pole and pull in the line until a large loop appears. Attachthis loop (or hawser) to the bow cleat on your vessel.
(2) Continue to pull up the smaller (spreader) line as you walk toward thestern of the boat. This spreader line should be pulled up until there is afair amount of tension or until a loop on the stern hawser is reached.
(3) Attach the spreader line or the loop to the stern cleat of the vessel. Yourvessel will be secure if attached to the spreader line; it is not necessaryto reach the loop. The proper stern line tension is essential.
(4) Recheck bow and stern lines to be sure they are secured to each cleat.
(5) Keep the spreader line on deck to avoid wrap up.
Leaving a MooringUntie the stern line and then the bow line (wind conditions may require this to be done in the reverse order) and drop into the water along with the spreader line. Allow enough time for all lines to sink free and clear of the propeller of your vessel to prevent fouling. Check in the area of the prop to be sure you are not fouled. If you believe you have wrapped your prop, please call the Harbor Patrol on VHF Channel 9 for assistance. (All mooring fees must be paid on arrival. An administration charge will be added to any fees not paid prior to departure.)
Please note:• The tide will affect your mooring and lines may need to be adjusted
periodically to take up slack or to be let out.• A mooring tied too tightly will be very difficult to release and may
move the weights on the ocean bottom.• A mooring which is too loose will cause your vessel to drift closer
to a neighboring vessel.• Caution: These moorings are not designed or maintained for use in
heavy weather or storm conditions. Boaters should monitorweather conditions and use good judgment about when to seek asafe harbor.

CLeAN boATINg hAbITsBoat sewage, graywater, cleaning products, spilled fuel, oil, and trash are potential sources of pollution. Each of us must take responsibility for pollution prevention.
here are some helpful tips when it comes to protecting the waters off of Catalina Island:
boat Maintenance:Do most maintenance and repair at the end of the season when your boat is out of the water.Limit in-water maintenance and per-form cleaning where debris can be captured and disposed of properly.
oil and gas:Use caution when filling your fuel tank and do not top off. Attend the fuel nozzle at all times.Catch fuel drips with a rag. Properly dispose of soiled rags.Do not hose down gas spills, or apply detergents or soaps to oil sheen.Install fuel tank vent whistles to avoid spills.Inspect fuel lines and hoses periodi-cally. Replace as needed.Use funnels for pouring oil and keep a supply of absorbent pads onboard for cleaning up spills.Dispose of used oil and drained oil filters at a proper hazardous waste facility. If a spill occurs, notify Two Harbors Harbor Department immediately.
bilge oil:Use drip pans with absorbent pads while draining oil from the bilges.
Keep engines well tuned: regularly check seals, gaskets, hoses and con-nections for leaks and drips.Change oil filters often.Clean and maintain bilges. Do not use detergents while cleaning.Remove oily bilge water at bilge pumpout station.
solid waste & Marine Debris:Never throw trash overboard.Prevent plastic bags, drink cans and loose items from blowing overboard.Carry a trash bag. Whatever you take out, bring it back to port for proper disposal.
