By Bill Keogh. 264 pages. This new guide by natural historian Bill keogh - whom ABC News calls "an expert on the Keys ecosystem" - is your signpost to the paddler's paradise that is the Florida Keys. Those who think of these islands as only 150 miles of sandy beaches have much to learn about the archipelago visited by 4 million people every year - and there's no better way to explore it than by kayak. Each trip includes chart and route suggestions, as well as information on distance, tidal differences, winds, and safety. You'll also find information on the wildlife, habitats, ecosystems, and historical and natural features of the area. Keogh urges the paddler: "Enjoy the trip - don't worry about the destination." |
