GENERAL INFO: Catalina is an island 26 miles off of Los Angeles. There are two towns there. We will be in Two Harbors, which is a very small place on the west end of the island. It has two restaurants, two bars, one dive shop, one bread-and-breakfast with 13 rooms (booked up by non-hashers long ago), one general store, and one campground. One family--the descendents of Doug Bombard--used to own everything, but in 1998 they sold out to the Santa Catalina Island Company.
Boats are the only way to get there. Ferries leave from San Pedro and Marina del Rey:

Accomodation choices are only the campsite or someone's private boat. Usually some hashers bring their own boats over and sleep aboard.
Cost for the weekend is $69.69 including beer, Saturday dinner, t-shirt and other giveaways, and munchies. You are own your own to get there and for food the other times.
Two Harbors Services does provide transportation for your gear from the ferry to the campsite. You have to walk yourself, but it's only a quarter mile or so.
Buffalo Milk at the Harbor Reef Bar is highly recommended.
