Sep · The Galápagos of North America
California — Channel Islands
Cross the Santa Barbara Channel to Santa Cruz and Catalina — sea caves you can dinghy into, kelp forests full of garibaldi, and anchorages you might share only with seals. Crisp Pacific sailing with real wind, best in the golden light of early fall.
