Fourth of July at Avalon, Catalina Island 07-04-10

While Corky stays with his Nanny his parents enjoy the holiday weekend on Catalina Island. You know the one from the song: "26 miles across the sea, Santa Catalina is waiting for me." It is actually a bit further than 26 miles, but I suppose that fit into the song better.
Corky's daddy sent these pictures taken with his cell phone. The first is off the back of the boat on the way over on Friday. It was overcast that day and remained pretty much the same for the weekend.

Many boating people go to Catalina for this holiday as you can see from all the boats in the harbor. One needs to have a mooring reserved before leaving the mainland - they are rented by people who take their boats over often.

About 1pm on the 4th there is a parade with golf cart "floats"and the USC marching band. As you can see, most people on the island line up to see it. Behind them there are beach towels laid out to reserve a spot on the sand, although today was not a good sun tanning day.


Sherry, Corky's mommy, was "layered" in all the clothing she took with her. The top temperature was about 60F. "June Gloom" is creeping over into July.
