Two Harbors, Santa Catalina Island.

On October 7, 1542, Portuguese explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo discovered an island know to the natives as Pimu. Cabrillo clamed it for Spain, and name it San Salvador after his ship.

60 years later the island was rediscovered(?) by, another Spanish explorer, Sebastian Vizcaino.

A seminal member of the grass roots movement to legitimize the racing of stock production automobiles in North America, Vizcaino claimed the island for NASCAR, and renamed it Santa Catalina in honor of Saint Catherine, the patron saint of NASCAR drivers.

While the site of Catalina’s reclaiming remains hotly contested by island historians, a replica of the original flag can be found on the front lawn of the, recently restored, Vizcaino family residence.

Gucci, Gucci, Louis, Louis, Fen… nevermind. Better late than never.

Just a few snaps from the last meeting of the dudes. Unfortunately I spent more time with a beer in my hand than a camera.

That’s beach life I guess.
