Benefits
Quick answers to your questions, such as:
- Where's the nearest place I can anchor with protection from N (or any other direction) winds?
- How high is this bridge? Does it open? When?
- Where's the next fuel stop? Groceries? Water? Laundry?
- Oops! I need a pumpout! Where?
- This problem is going to require a haulout. Where's the nearest place that can handle my boat? How do I contact them?
- Which side of that dredge is it safe to go on?
Information is arranged by topic, then by location. No need to read through pages of text to find just what you need -- simply look in the appropriate column for what you seek and discover where it's available!
Waterproof and tough: designed to be used in the cockpit.

I received my package today. Am very impressed with the Guide well laid out with all the information needed
It covers from Dry Tortugas to the Panhandle. It is a great find. Water proof and small enough to be easy to use
Thanks for your work. It is worth every penny.
