One Particular Harbour – Pelican Bay

Captain’s Log – Day 5 – 3/4/25

We departed the dock at Venice Yacht Club at 9:00am. The wind was forecast to be 15-20Kts from the exact direction we wanted to go. We can’t sail directly into the wind so we opted for a calmer passage motoring down the inter-coastal waterway.

After a lazy day of motoring onto the wind listening to “No Shoes Radio”, we anchored in Pelican Bay off of Cayo Costa around 3:00pm. This is the place I think of when I hear the Jimmy Buffet song, “One Particular Harbor”. It’s a beautiful, protected little anchorage where we’ll hunker down for the cold front coming through tomorrow.

We dipped into the provisions to grill filets tonight with roasted garlic red potatoes and opted for a 2016 Clarendell Bordeaux Rouge while we watched the sunset over Cayo Costa.
