					<description><![CDATA[The saying about “What a difference a day makes” had to be coined by an old salt. There is simply no other earthly environment that can change so much, on so many levels, as the sea. I spend plenty of time on dry land, so I do know that one day can be very different [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The call came through with the all to familiar question, “Can one angler join a fishing trip with others in Avalon?” The simple answer is, “No, there are no open party charter boats operating here.” Sometimes the simple answer is just not good enough. The caller was a grandmother who was trying to get her [&#8230;]]]></description>

She remains a mystery to most even though 63 percent of the world’s population lives within a coastal zone. These populations that live and work on the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Afishinado was custom-built for me in 1998 by a group of guys then known as Canaveral Custom Boats. Their approach to boat-building was old-school. When I asked about their warranty, they said, “For as long as you own the boat, no questions asked.” The company has since migrated into new lines of business with a [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I enjoy the calls I get from customers inquiring about a fishing charter for their upcoming visit to Catalina Island. Sometimes I think that I should rename our business to something that more accurately reflects what we do, like, “Afishinados Family Charters.” These calls can be broken down into a couple of categories. Here are [&#8230;]]]></description>

By now most, if not all Avalonians have heard or seen the infamous flyer sent out “To protect Avalon.” The author, who clearly identified himself as solely responsible for the content, has a history of sharing his views on important matters through such flyers.

					<description><![CDATA[Good help I have a lot of good friends who are captains, most of whom are also outstanding anglers. They fish Catalina regularly, but are not interested in running charters. Incredible! They have their reasons: • “I don’t want to ruin my love for fishing.” • “I go to Catalina for pleasure, not to work.” [&#8230;]]]></description>

We gathered in a small town called Guerneville, a couple hours north of San Francisco, near the rapidly expanding wine region.
