Santa Paula - Avalon / Cessna 172 (N9828W) / VFR

For once the weather was completely clear out to Catalina, so I flew one of my little Cessna 172s from Santa Paula out to the island. I flew to FIM and then directly to SMO, then through the SFRA and out to the island. All went well, and the landing at Avalon was pretty well executed in clear weather. I did a lot of the flight visually (except for the SFRA), and I know where the airport is on the island so I could just steer towards that without the need to use navaids.
