Caladesi Island is a pristine nature reserve accessible only by boat. It is located in the gulf of Mexico just west of Dunedin, Fl. We sailed down from Tarpon Springs, about 14 nautical miles to the north. This is a favorite sail of the club and always draws a lot of boats. 2002 was no exception.
Some of the boats at Anclote River Park rigged, launched and waiting to sail.
