Description
When it rains in Southern California, it is always an event. We celebrate when the mist gets heavy, let alone significant cloudbursts. It is a rarity, and despite the fact that too much too soon causes havoc for folks in the foothills - we are grateful when it occurs.
Here we have the Catalina Channel, and on the horizon Catalina Island ~26 miles from the mainland. Storm remnants, and in this case a break in the weather invariably results in spectacular "golden hour" sunsets.
The wee notch in the island, just to the right of center is known as the isthsmus. The Isthmus of Catalina Island is a 770-meter (842 yards) section of land that joins the northwestern portion of Santa Catalina Island to the main part of the island. It lies approximately 37 km (23 mi) southwest of San Pedro Harbor. Part of the isthmus is occupied by the town of Two Harbors, named for two harbors on either side of the isthmus, Isthmus Cove and Catalina Harbor. Two Harbors lies on the leeward side facing Isthmus Cove. The northern part of Santa Catalina contains about one sixth (31.7 km²) of the entire island's land mass.
