Florida Keys and Everglades Cruising Guide 1 review Freya Rauscher
Wescott Cove Pub Co, 1997
Cruising Guide
The guide has a lot of useful information, but it is organized in a manner that I found difficult to use, particularly for planning purposes. It would have been useful to have some regional maps to better orient the reader.

I loved the early books in the Doc Ford series, but felt that they took a dark and offensively misogynist turn somewhere around North of Havana. I stopped reading them after The Mangrove Coast. I joked to a ...
