Description: Southern California has such mild weather that allows for almost every day to be a perfect boating day. Occasionally the seas become high and choppy, but as long as there is not a small-craft warning in the harbor, it is safe, regardless. On a typical Saturday or Sunday, the harbor is full of small boats like Boston Whalers and large powerboats like Chris Crafts. Regardless of your skill, any boat is easy to handle. The main thing to keep in mind is that you are not the only boat out there. If you go early in the morning, the water is calm enough to go water-skiing out behind some of the oil islands. White Island, for example, is a great spot shielded from the morning wind. Some even opt to go for a morning swim in this more protected area. Check the local yellow pages for names and numbers of rental companies and be sure to protect your skin from the elements.
