You can't get there "directly" as Palos Verdes "blocks" a "direct route" from the mouth of King Harbor to Avalon, Catalina Island, California. But if you sail 'round the Palos Verdes headlands and set a course of 195° true, you will end up pretty darn close. Any inaccuracy will hinge on how closely you are to shore when you make your turn. And you don't want to be too close. Err on the side of caution.
Google earth measures it at 33.5 miles from exiting Marina Del Rey, CA harbor to the closest point of Catalina Island,CA. But it looks like it is another 15 miles SE to Avalon, where it seems the boats arrive on Catalina.
I think so.
About 15 miles
When heading downstream (away from harbor) leave the red buoys to port and the green buoys to starboard.When heading upstream (back in to harbor) it's the opposite: leave the green buoys to port and the red buoys to starboard.
None. They wanted the aircraft carriers; but had to settle for second best...the battleships.
