    Excellent Book for the Adventurer, July 27, 2005 Reviewer:Louie G. Ross III "yak nut" (Jackson, MS USA) -    This guide is outstanding! It contains the info need for a very challenging and interesting kayaking or boating trip all along the Gulf Coast waters. Great tips and suggestions throughout. I woul highly recommend this for your next boating adventure.

    Book Description
    Mississippi's barrier islands claim some of the most remote and unspoiled sites along the Gulf of Mexico. The distance of East and West Ship Island, Horn Island, Cat Island, Deer Island, and Petit Bois Island from the mainland has sheltered them from extensive development. The inclusion of all but Deer Island in the roster of protected places in Gulf Islands National Seashore Act has assured that they will remain close to their natural state long into the future.

    For those who love the seashore, the Mississippi Gulf Coast is an ideal place for adventure. The wilderness islands, the back bays and coastal rivers, and the Gulf of Mexico itself offer pleasure for boaters and nature lovers. This book will guide them to special places in these relatively shallow waters.

    Filled with detailed descriptions of many alluring settings, along with directions for navigation to secluded coves and coastal bayous, this book gives tips and pointers for a wide range of boaters, whether their preferred craft is a canoe, a sea kayak, or a luxury yacht.

    What are the best and safest routes? What are the weather patterns? How does one select the perfect craft?

    Here from an expert who has explored the coastal waters during a period of fifteen years are the answers, rich in anecdotes, along with information on charter boats, excursion boats, and other options for exploring and fishing.

    About The Author
    Scott B. Williams, an experienced sailor and sea kayaker, has published numerous magazine articles on the joys of kayaking.
