Episode 005 : Pelican Bay Anchorage is located on the North side of Santa Cruz Island in Southern California. In this podcast, recorded under anchor at Pelican Bay, I tell you what I know about the anchorage and my thoughts and experiences at this anchorage and talk a little about my trip to the anchorage from Cueva Valdez. Pelican Bay is surrounded by tall cliffs and is very protected from the Northwest Swell giving me a wonderful night under anchor that felt more like I was on a lake than on an Island in the Pacific Ocean. The beach landing to explore onshore is just east of the bay around the corner from the bay itself and can be seen as you motor in to drop the hook. It was a pebble and stone landing and a tree lined valley and well marked trail come down to the beach. Its an easy hike up to the former foundation of the Pelican Bay Resort that operated here in the 1920s where you get a great view of the anchorage. I saw Acorn woodpeckers and the Island Scrub Jay and Island Fox whom both only exist on the Channel Islands. You can see the corresponding video episode about Pelican Bay on my YouTube Channel and read the journal entry from my log book, all of this can be found at svtriteia.com This Podcast was recorded as part of a 9 day long sailing trip I took the last week of 2017. Exploring 6 different anchorages on Santa Cruz Island before sailing to Catalina Island to ring in the New Year.
