Download or read book Between Two Harbors written by Doug Oudin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-08-30 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalina Island—the name conjures images of a pristine tropical island. Located twenty-six miles off the coast of Southern California, Catalina Island is known as the “island of romance” for good reason. A popular destination for boaters, fishermen, and tourists, it’s a recreational mecca at sea—a place where people come to escape from the reality of urban life. Boasting 86,000 square miles of unspoiled and undeveloped natural beauty, Catalina is an island paradise with wild animals, surrounded by an ocean teeming with fish. For thirty-two years, Charles Douglas “Doug” Oudin lived a fantasy life on this secluded oasis. As the former harbormaster, he saw it all—harrowing storms, dramatic ocean rescues, traumatic accidents, and the tragic death of actress Natalie Wood. Encounters with sharks, buffalo, wild boar, and even a “sea serpent” are just a few of the strange and unique experiences he had while living on the island. Now, in this memoir, he shares his story. For those who know and love Catalina—and those who have always wanted to visit—Between Two Harbors reveals a glimpse of what life on the island is really like.

Download or read book Catalina by Sea written by Jeannine L. Pedersen and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fancy flight of lyrics specifies that Santa Catalina Island is "26 miles across the sea." But mapmakers put the distance at 19.7 miles from the closest island point, Doctor's Cove (near Arrow Point), to the closest mainland locale, Point Fermin at San Pedro. Today boats and helicopters operating out of the Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Newport Beach, and Dana Point transport musing songwriters and everyone else to Catalina for the song's much-promised "romance, romance, romance, romance," as well as fishing, sightseeing, and gainful employment. But the history of getting to and from the island's ports of Avalon and Two Harbors has been an epic across centuries of business and pleasure, involving a collective flotilla of side-wheelers, yachts, lumber schooners, steamships, water taxis, converted military vessels, crew boats, and today's fast and convenient jet boats.

The 150 places herein range from the eerily named but interesting Museum of Death to the awe-inspiring Getty, and from the Living Desert in Palm Springs to the relaxing beach of Marina Del Rey.

Download or read book Chicago Cubs written by Jim Vitti and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's not quite like today's spring training: one might find a rookie ballplayer (nicknamed Hack) uprooting trees with his bare hands or a future president of the United States getting into a barroom brawl with some grizzled sportswriters. The team was the Chicago Cubs, and the place was Santa Catalina Island-through the Roaring Twenties, Great Depression, and World War II. William Wrigley owned both island and ballclub; from 1921 to 1951, they came together. There were movie stars, like Betty Grable and Marilyn Monroe. There were grand steamships, big bands, hopes and dreams, and World Series rings. It's Chicago Cubs: Baseball on Catalina Island, and it's a trip like no other.

Download or read book Catalina A to Z written by Patricia Maxwell and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Santa Catalina Island is one of the West Coast's great nearby escapes, an hour's boat ride from Los Angeles and Long Beach for one million annual tourists. The island's seventy-six square miles contain two communities--Avalon and Two Harbors--and extremely rugged seashores and interior wild lands. Here, the history has been carved by pirates, smugglers, prospectors and squatters and set down by seafaring scribes and Hollywood fabricators. The facts have been massaged by the ebb and flow of time and scattered like sun-baked rocks from a beachcomber's kick. Co-authors Patricia Maxwell, Bob Rhein and Jerry Roberts have collected Catalina's basic facts and lore into a quick reference that's as easily accessible as the most charming of California's Channel Islands.

Book excerpt: Catalina Island ...and Avalon, a sunny village just off the Southern California Coast. It seemed the perfect place for R&R over Memorial Day weekend with the new young woman in the Judge's life. But what he stepped into was gang violence, civil disobedience, bitter rivalries, infidelity, and even murder, ripping the social fabric of the small town asunder. From Avalon's Yacht Club, through its alleys, sidewalk cafes and swank watering holes, across its private beaches and beyond, to the Airport in the Sky and the party cruise ship sitting offshore, the Judge tracks a shadowy killer. And as the town is forced to fight for its very existence against overwhelming odds, the Judge finds his romantic relationship compromised by an old flame, forcing him to examine and re-define his own past before he can risk a new future.

Download or read book Living in Avalon written by Tiffanie Edwards and published by . This book was released on 2013-08-16 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of author Tiffanie Edwards was forever changed the moment she first stepped off the boat in Avalon, on Catalina Island, in 2003. For the next ten years, she carried a nearly romantic obsession of little else but to live in a place where many people walk to work and a vehicle really isn't necessary but your neighbor is always willing to lend you his. An island where jobs and housing are acquired by word of mouth and your reputation is your reference. A small town where people really truly care about each other, the post office in fact does not deliver, and the hospital has not had a planned childbirth in decades. Life finally gave her that opportunity. Now a full-time resident of Avalon, she is asked daily the same questions she herself used to ask, such as: * "What is it like to live on Catalina?" * "How much does it cost to live here?" * "How do I locate housing?" * "How can I find a job on Catalina?" Written to answer these questions and more, this book is both a personal memoir and an informational guide to relocating to Avalon, and includes a chapter on contact and community information not available anywhere else.
