used to be very little on the web & I created a site :

while some of the info is timeless you can see from my ref to
Hurricane Georges
that I don't update much ( or just add and don't remove) since I
created that site two other sites have grown and become good resources

We can only go down Hawk Channel side but you should be able to do the
bay side - lots of places along there. I understand that there are
moorings off Lignumvitae Key and you can go ashore Thursday through
Monday and take a park service tour.

You can also get in to Boot Key harbor (Marathon) through Sisters
Creek. Dockside is the favored cruiser's hangout there. Also
Burdines on the other side of the harbor.
