Happy November 1st!

Cathy just updated the blogspot with photos of her trip from Ventura on Island Packers to Prisoners Harbor ~ Santa Cruz Island, Channel Islands.
Santa Cruz Island, known by the Chumash people as “Limuw”(translates to “in the sea”).
Close to the California mainland, yet worlds apart, Channel Islands National Park encompasses five remarkable islands (Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and Santa Barbara) and their ocean environment, preserving and protecting a wealth of natural and cultural resources. Isolation over thousands of years has created unique animals, plants, and archeological resources found nowhere else on Earth and helped preserve a place where visitors can experience coastal southern California as it once was.
