CRUISING WAYPOINTS, SELECTED ANCHORAGES & MARINAS
There are MANY PICTURES on these LONG PAGES - They will take a while to load - but worth it.

These waypoints MUST be used only in conjunction with current charts of the area, and cross checked against other navigational methods such as soundings, navigational aids and bearings. Do not rely solely upon these waypoints, and don't use them at all unless you are able to fully navigate yourself. You are responsible for your own navigation. Remember, it's even possible that there are typographical errors on these pages - double check your navigation!

These pages are split into sections so they'll load faster on your computer.

Intro to Cuba & Hemmingway Marina	Great Circle Trip Keys to Great Lakes on E Coast and back the River systems to the Gulf and Keys	Intro to Bahamas This isn't covered here in detail, but we'll tell you how to cross the Gulf Stream and about the regulations and requirements.

Make sure you review the rules for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary before you dive / cruise.

Review the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service restrictions for the Key West National Wildlife Refuge, Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge, & National Key Deer Refuge (essentially ALL of the Keys)

The RESTAURANTS pages include those from Key West to Key Largo, with waypoints and whether or not they are water accessible.
