We left Marina Del Rey around noon and motored out of the immense harbor. When we got to Santa Monica Bay, I briefly doused the engine to get a sense of the wind. We headed up and set the main. The wind sustained us for all of 15 minutes (at a measly 4 knots) before it died out completely.  I reluctantly conceded that there was no chance of making it to Catalina on wind power alone and powered up the diesel.</p>
