Reviews:
Bluewater Books - "The most complete guide ever written for this
popular cruising area. This guide is jam-packed with up-to-date information on cruising, diving, and fishing in the
Keys. Rauscher included just what the serious cruiser needs: straightforward and reliable information on anchorages, marinas,
and facilities throughout the Keys. Also included is a 26 by 29 inch black and white general chart (1:80,000 scale) of the
Keys, very useful for planning."
Sail - "The best guide ever on the area from Miami to the Dry Tortugas
and west to Everglade City. "
Soundings- "Rauscher and her husband honeymooned in the Florida Keys, starting
a lifelong cruising odyssey. Their guide is a ready reference to this unique cruising ground. Navigation information and suggested
cruising routes are listed, along with points of general interest, fauna and flora and even a bit of local lore and legend."
The Ensign - "Cruising guides are meant to be look at and used frequently.
Fortunately, this book lies flat - a handy feature ... the book includes a large complete chart with loran lines
and the illustrations in the text are very clear. Rauscher's detailed guide is a result of the author's experience sailing
in the area. For those not planning on visit the Florida Keys and Everglades by boat, you will find this guide a
super touring book, especially the local interests sections on food, shopping, etc."
Cruising World - "Includes charts, diagrams, street maps, sketch charts, GPS
waypoints and points of interest and also covers Florida Bay, Marquesas, Dry Tortugas, and more."
Living Aboard Magazine - "Rauscher's Florida Keys and Everglades Cruising Guide
far exceeds the minimum. Her opening chapters are a short course in cruising, with specific references to the special
aspects of the Keys. ... Her prose is clear, direct, and down-to-earth. She includes well-annotated charts and lots of helpful
snapshots... This is a rich, meticulous store of information; don't go to Margaritaville without it."
Library Research Associates - "One of the most comprehensive guides to
the Florida Keys and Everglades, it includes Florida Bay, Hawk Channel, Miami to Key West, Marquesas, Dry Tortugas, Flamingo,
Everglades City, and all points between. ... Well written and informative; the author and editor add their own cruising experiences,
with a touch of humor."
