Avalon - French Valley / Cessna 172 (N9828W) / VFR

Despite the usual mistiness over the water, I was able to fly VFR from Avalon back to the mainland, ending up at French Valley (Temecula). The route was extremely simple: I just followed the 063 radial from SXC at 5500 feet, until I had the field in sight. It took a good 40 minutes or so. Both take-off and landing were extremely smooth.
