Title:

Cruising Guide to Western Florida 

Author:

Claiborne S. Young

Published:

Pelican Publishing Company

6th Edition, February 2004

ISBN: 1589801946

The following text refers to an earlier edition:

Thoroughly researched and updated firsthand by the author, "Cruising Guide to Western Florida: Fourth Edition" is the most detailed source available on the facilities and waters of the Sunshine State's western shore. It contains current information on

• Navigation data • Anchorage locales along the entire shore • Marinas • Shoreside dining and other attractions

Western Florida offers a tranquil alternative to the fast-paced life-style of the eastern coast. From the slow-moving Manatee River to the wide-open spans of Tampa Bay to the multitude of islands and inlets between Cape Sable and Naples, Young leads readers both to the untouched beauty of the area and to its popular resorts and marinas. A perfect deckside guide to the waters west of the peninsula, the Cruising Guide to Western Florida leaves very little unexplored in the waters from Flamingo to the Big Bend.

As in his previous books, Young furnishes dozens of invaluable maps, photographs, and chart references. Intriguing historical profiles and coastal folklore give visitors the flavor of the region. Sections on unsafe areas and shoals help boaters avoid dangerous waters.

Cruising Guide to the Florida Keys: With Florida West Coast Supplement 

Author:

Frank m Papy

Published:

11th Edition, January 1, 2001

ISBN: 096198385X

A review by an Amazon customer

An extremely well written book with lots of pictures and charts. I used it to sail my 28' boat from Coconut Grove to Key West with my wife and 9 month old son. It's great for gunkholing and points out many of the unknown facts about the local area. And besides, Frank's a nice man...I can say that on authority as I have an autographed copy
