If you're thinking about exploring Florida's waters on a paddle craft, this book is a must have. It is very well written and has tons of useful information. It covers everything from getting there to what outfitter services operate in the areas you are or are intending to paddlie. The book provides very accurate mileage and landmarks for gauging distance while on the water. In addition, the book provides very good maps of all the areas covered. If you want more detailed maps, go to google earth and get aerial shots. All in all, I strongly recommend this book which is why I gave it five stars. Thanks Johnny Molloy for another great book.
