5.0 out of 5 stars Full of information, pictures, and helpful hints., April 5, 2007

By	Nathan Bayreuther (Connecticut) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Dozier's has done a great job compiling extensive data about harbors and presenting it in an easy-to-read format with pictures and charts. This Guide provides an overall perspective on a harbor's surroundings before delving into navigation, dockage and anchoring specifics. At the top of the page, nearby marinas are listed detailing phone numbers, slip and floating dock accommodations, which VHF channels are monitored, approach/dockside depths, fuel, repairs, electrical service, lifts and cranes, laundry/pool/showers, pump-out stations, and whether or not there are nearby grocery stores, motels, and restaurants. All this information about the marinas is presented in a chart-like form, taking up very little room on the page yet making it easily readable at a glance. This, in turn, leaves the rest of the page to be filled with helpful hints including a history of the area and what you can find if you go ashore.

Aerial photographs are in abundance with digitally-added dashed lines to show the channel routes. There are, of course, numerous advertisements throughout the Guide, and they only add to the helpful information already presented. I am very impressed by the details on dockage and anchoring - it tells you where you can and cannot anchor and what to expect once you are there.

An often-overlooked yet extremely handy feature is that this 492-page book is spiral-bound, making it easy to read on a flat table. There is still much, much more to this Guide, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to plan some overnight cruises to area harbors.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must" have directory, June 2, 2008

By	Barry Wynkoop (Lusby, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My wife and I live on the Chesapeake Bay and cruise the ICW (north and south) so we purchased both editions the waterway guide. The information they contain is accurate and up-to-date. The airial pictures of the harbors which accompany the charts are useful visuals to orient people (such as my wife) who are relatively new to maritime navigation. The "going ashore" sections provide a wealth of information on things to do for planning a trip (we enjoy playing golf and nearby courses are listed).

I highly reccomend this guide to anyone who is interested in "exploring" the ICW and it's tributaries.
