Excerpt from Southward in Roamer: Being a Description of the Inside Route From New York to Florida This lucid and intelligent description of the inside passage from New York to Florida was written for The Rudder by Mr. H. C Roome, a gentleman who has frequently made the trip in his yacht Roamer. The value of a narrative of this kind is apparent to those who have made the passage without any guide except the excellent charts furnished by the Government. While they are essential to proper navigation, there is a deal of information that they do not give, and which is conducive to safe and comfortable voyaging. But while the yachtsman in making this passage will undoubtedly be greatly aided by Commodore Roome's narrative, he must not fail to provide himself with a full set of charts and such other publications as will be of service. By paying attention to Commodore Roome's remarks, and following the course on the chart, no man will have any difficulty in making this long voyage.
