I don't think so. Gainesville is NNW of the Cape. The launch would be to the
east. From there you'd have to look south-east to see the contrail, which
would be heading East as well. Venus would have been at best to your right.
You might be able to see them both, but the contrail would be nowhere near
Venus.

I guess this depends on exactly where they were located when describing the
event. Here's a link to a picture (not mine) of the ascent taken from
Gainesville, about 100 miles north of the launch pad.

I think it would be possible to see Venus and the exhaust plume from this
location.
