Sandra deDubovay and Joe DiDonato recently took the Catalina Express from Long Beach to Catalina. It was a smooth 70-minute sailing to the 76-square-mile mountainous island located approximately 22 miles away. Avalon Bay’s location on the leeward side, plus its “C” shape, makes it one of the safest harbors in the island.
