Oil Island White. Gettin' to like the place.

We've been there a lot lately. Either as a jumping off point for Catalina, or just to hank on the hook and enjoy life. And this last weekend was no exception. We did a nice overnighter Saturday & Sunday. It's almost like a fifteen minute trip to Catalina. We motor out to The Oil Island and drop the hook in front of "The Waterfall". We call it that because it is a waterfall. A fake waterfall on a fake island with fake condos on it, of course. The condos are actually oil derricks which move around because they are on rails. Most locals don't even realize that they actually move. If you take a picture of The Oil island from the bluffs on a Monday and come back on Wednesday and compare. You will see that somebody moved the condo. How perfect. It's the essence of Southern California living. But do you know what? I'll take it. They actually turn The Waterfall on and off. It's usually on between 1900 and 2300. And it's lit up for our viewing enjoyment. How swell is that?
