Carla was honored to be invited to accompany Venturers (Sea Scouts) of Ship 194 during their KODIAK Trek at Santa Catalina
Island from August 4th to August 13th.
The trek started with a sail boat race from Long Beach Harbor, Califorina on two boats operated by members of the Arrowhead
Squadron, US Power Squadron the charter organization of Ship 194. Upon arrival on Catalina, the Venturers established
camp ashore and prepared for their trek. The following days consisted of sea kayaking along the island coast, exploring
the inlets, caves and harbors of the island and participating in the Kodiak training events. Each night the crew camped
on the island while their support vessel anchored off shore.
The trek finished on the other side of the island where after a BBQ they sailed back to Long Beach. In October,
the Kodiak X portion of the training will occur in the San Bernardino Forest where the final two Kodiak commissions will be
presented.
