Back home

I have been sailing (39 years) every summer to these Islands off the California coast. I have many very exciting and peaceful times. This will be our last year sailing to the islands as we plan to sell our boat.
Information about the Channel Islands:
What is so special about the Channel Islands?
It's no surprise why the Channel Islands have earned the nickname the “Galápagos of North America.” A staggering 2,000 species of plants and animals thrive within the vast national park, and since isolation led to unique adaptation, 145 of them exist nowhere else in the world.
