Los Angeles- Cabrillo or Long Beach?

[circa1971la]

Hi I’m sailing up from Newport to LA before crossing to Catalina. Is the crossing from Cabrillo Marina any faster than from Shoreline in Long Beach or is it essentially the same? Also, any insights on guest slips in Pedro vs Long Beach? I’ve stayed at Rainbow Marina in LB before and Shoreline seems closer to the office for keys etc and maybe quieter also. Have heard the Marina at Pedro is sketchy but I don’t plan to be anywhere beyond the dock but boat will be left at the guest slip for a few nights. Thank you !!
