Sunset in Dana Point. There's an island I've never seen between Catalina and San Clemente Islands - between the two palm trees at the edge of the Strands parking lot. Is there some weird visual anomaly allowing me to see San Nic? Did Cortes rise from the depths? WTF?

Well, you taught me more about the Channel Island chain than any other source, so if you don't know, I'm stumped.
I will say however, that during this time of year and with these weather conditions, I have seen mirages that look like islands off the CA coast.

FTR, San Nic would be way to the right and long out of view/line of sight.

But.. with line of sight on "Flat Earth" we could probably see it if that darn Catalina Island wasn't in the way.

Looking at a map San Nic would be directly behind Catalina when viewed from Dana Point. I'm guessing it is a cloud.

My guess is isla Guadalupe. When you take into account the curvature of the earth and light refraction aka science, makes sense

"What island is that to the left of Catalina" was the caption on this photo posted on the old EdHat SB site a few years ago. Shot was taken at 1100 ft just east of the Romero trailhead off Bella Vista in Montecito. So...what island is that? :cool:
