The waters along the Northern Gulf Coast, those of Florida Panhandle, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana contain some of the most delightful cruising areas to be found in the United States. Only recently discovered by recreational captains, these waters offer a varied and unique cruising experience. The grounds between Carrabelle and New Orleans (the areas covered in this book) are as diverse as any, running the gamut from the clear, emerald green waters of the Florida Panhandle to the wide reaches of Mobile Bay, the Mississippi Sound, and the secluded backwater recesses of Mississippi and Louisiana.

Review of Cruising Guide To The Northern Gulf Coast,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cruising Guide To The Northern Gulf Coast: Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana (Paperback)
The guide itself is typical of a Claiborne Young cruising guide, which I have many. They have always been well written and accurate. What disappoints me concerning this guide is the title. The title says Cruising Guide To ...., Louisiana. This is not accurate, and is very misleading. The guide covers nothing west of New Orleans. The area from New Orleans to the Sabine River is the reason the Cruising Guide was purchased. For me it was a wasted purchase.
