While I agree, and stated, that this book is out of date, it still is a
valuable resource for traveling the Texas coast. It sells for about $60,
about what 2 of the strip charts will cost. As long as you watch for the
current markers along the route, this book will certainly get you through
with no trouble. Really kind of hard to get lost on the Texas intracoastal.


With all due respect, recommending buying your book just to get the list of
charts needed for this cruise sounds a little self serving to me. If that's
what someone wants to do, (buy strip charts) they can get a FREE catalog of
all the noaa charts and pick the ones you want. Anywhere tht sells the strip 
charts will have the little brochure.

By the way, even at $125, the Barway Pilot Guide that covers Houston to NO
may just be the best buy out there. Their website says it is updated in
2008. The one I have is 2002 and is pretty accurate.

NO financial connection to any of these whatsoever.
