A friend and I are planning a first time cruise of approximately 1000 miles of the ICW. To assist in our preparations, we have been reading any and all material we can find on ICW cruising. This appears to be one of the most insightful and digestible pieces we have found. A special bonus for me is the home base of the author, Skipper Bob. My friend lives on Hilton Head Island and has been searching among his friends and neighbors, without much success, for someone to talk to who has cruised the ICW. I, on the other hand, live in southcentral Pennsylvania and was delighted to discover that Skipper Bob lives within 10-15 miles of me. His phone number (as well as his email address) is provided in the book. When I called him, he was only too willing to talk about my project on the phone. Further, he was amenable to meeting for face-to-face conversations and was sincerely interested in providing helpful information and suggestions. I recommend the book to any would-be cruisers.

A must for traveling the Intercoastal Waterway for all levels of cruising sailor because it is very detailed. It is continuosly updated with new yearly editions and by viewing new current information on the author's website.

I was helping a friend bring his boat from South Carolina to Southwest Florida. This was my second trip on the ICW and his first. We were constantly referencing this book in conjuncion with our charts for information about the waters and hazards we were cruising. Very information and wouldn't do the trip again without it.
