This is one of our best attended overnight cruises. Launch your sailing craft at Eldred’s Marina in Placida (10.5 miles), the County Marina at Bokeelia (7 miles), Punta Gorda’s City Marina (24 miles away), or Pineland Marina on west side of Pine Island (5 miles). Arrive at the north Pelican Bay cove on Friday afternoon. Set up your anchors so you can step off your boat onto a pristine sandy beach where we’ll set up beach chairs and have time to meet and greet new and old members alike.

Saturday we’ll take day-sails out of the cove – or circumnavigate the beautiful Island of Useppa! Saturday night a small campfire is usually made – a focal point for friends to share sailing stories and make new friends.

Sunday we pack up and head back for our various launching points for the ride home.

VHF: Monitor 16 and 72. If 72 busy try 71 then 69.
