On this year's Catalina trip we ran into some traffic. Passed by an LCAC off Camp Pendleton, lots of spray, but little wake. Fourteen miles from Avalon, we were passed on our starboard side by an oil tanker, then from our port side by yet another tanker. I was reachin' for the VHF to issue a Securite alert when the CG came on and told one of the tankers to "prepare for boardin" as they were out of the shippin' lanes. Ya gotta wonder what the "short-cut" cost them.
