My wife & I have been Catalina owners for 32+ years.  22, 25, 30, 36,36.  Visiting California next week, would like to experience west coast sailing 1/2 day Sat-Sun-Mon Sep 26-28, 2015.  Will reciprocate on upper Mississippi (90 minutes south east Minneapolis on Lake Pepin, Mississippi River on our 2000 Catalina 36) in future.  Send PM.
