D&T Grrrl! Further

Have you ever wanted to be the first?

This is Santa Rosa Island and we’ve never been here before. Not once. Not even in a dream.

Called Wima by the indigenous Chumash and located 40 nautical miles off the coast of Ventura, California, she is the second largest of the Channel Islands. Whales and sharks plow through the Santa Barbara Channel between you and the mainland. Kelp beds teeming with aquatic life hang suspended in the pristine waters surrounding the island. There are six plants here that are found nowhere else in the world. The pygmy mammoth once roamed here, but they long ago left it to the foxes, the skunks, and the mice.

And now to only a very few of you. Because this adventure is open to fifteen women only, and you will be taken through it further than you ever imagined.

It’s a two and a half hour boat ride from the Ventura Harbor and you’ll have to be there before dawn. The crossing is glorious with great pods of bottle-nose dolphins often frolicking in your wake.

But stepping onto the island will have a special kind of gravity. The boat will leave you there. It will be back in three days time to bring you back home, but you know about the unpredictable spring swells. Many a ship have gone down in the channel and no captain worth his salt is going to take a chance on foul weather.

Bring extra food, because you may need to hunker down.

The island is yours.
