Posted: Monday, August 01, 2005 - Avalon Harbor Dept
July in Avalon...summer is in full swing. Gloomy weather with overcast skies and morning fog did not stop boaters from visiting the area. The Harbor was packed over the 4th July weekend, with many vessels anchored up and down the coast of Catalina Island. Adding to the boating activity were weekly visits by the MONARCH OF THE SEAS and ECSTASY cruise ships, bringing over 5000 visitors each week to Avalon.
