Here we are at anchor in Pelican Bay.
Pelican Bay is a small bay west of Pine Island at the mouth of Charlotte Harbor. It's a small bay with a very tricky (shallow) entrance, but once inside it's very nice, well protected and just a very special place to us. This was one of, if not the, first anchorages we found back in 2011 aboard Assisted Living. After you get your anchor set and get the dinghy in the water you take the dinghy across to a state park on Cayo Costa Island, and either take the shuttle or walk the 1 mile across the island to the beautiful beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Since the only way to get the beach is by boat into Pelican Bay the beach is quite unpopulated and quiet--good shelling, watch the dolphins swim by, watch the birds--or just hang out. After our time on the beach we always stop at the park headquarters building for a Klondike bar before returning to the boat---or am I repeating myself.
Anyway---I think I have the photo thing figured out. Here's one of the Admiral at the
beach.
