Re: Buccaneer Days 2011 Catalina Island

Had some awesome weather all in all, even though we got a few sprinkles on Friday. Total flat, calm seas on the way over from Long Beach on Thursday morning got us there right at 1 hour. The little bit of weather we got Friday from the Pacific Hurricane remnants brought in some larger-than-normal swells that night, and the sound of the surf and rocking of the boat lent to a peaceful sleep to be ready for Saturday's festivities. The band was real diverse and played extremely well Friday & Sat night. It was the first year there was an admission fee to get in the event, but at $10 for 2 days it was worth it. Looking froward to next year for sure...but then again, that's what I said 10 years ago...:cool:

I crossed over Saturday morning in my Sea Rider and it was pretty rough. Sundays return trip was much better. I agree with you, the band was very well rounded and played some awesome music. Had a blast out there snorkeling during the day, and watching the festivities at night. The dingy dock was quite the spectacle around 11 o clock. Cant wait till next year!
