I remember the Blanche W!!! I used to spend my summers there...we had a morring at Channel Heights. ..the south side of the Isthmus...our "yacht club" (more like a drinking club with a boating problem) held cookouts on that hill.

In one of my "How I spent my Summer Vacation" essays I talked about that boat and the ruse that was sometimes played on the tourists. The boat would be pulling away and a guy would come racing down the dock with a suitcase yelling for the boat to wait...he would keep on running right off the end of the pier...suitcase and all....and the Blanche W would keep on going.

This was about '59 to '61. I still remember the songs on the jukebox!


I was a camper at Catalina Marineros Camp at Fourth of July Cove then, and my dad had a mooring at Cherry Cove. I remember the cheesy songs we sang at the campfire (Michael Row The Boat Ashore, Kumbaya, Sloop John B, etc). And Dion and the Belmonts on my transistor radio.

I have fond memories of Catalina too: But going to school for two years there at is no part of them.
