I have a friend that is going to be sailing the Carribean for the next 6 months and I'm trying to find out what harbor "Jimmy" is singing about in his song "One Particular Harbor". Any ideas?

From the Parrothead Handbook
One Particular Harbour
I had my sights set on Tahiti a long time ago and connived my way there through my good friend Tom Moffatt in Hawaii. We went there to play a show to an unknown audience, but that didn't matter. I still had made it to Tahiti. At the airport we were met by an old expatriated American named Hugh Kelly who had run away from home a long time ago. We became instant friends, and he took me to his home on Moorea in the mountains above Cook's Bay. When I looked down at the vista, the song came out as if it had been sitting inside of me waiting for that moment.
