GL: Charts

[Coral Hadler]

I wish to THANK everyone for all their postings on charts.  I was lucky enough
to have learned several new things, including from Brent Hodges, about a book
series called the Barway Pilot Guides.  These books are NOT cheap, but they
sure seem like an excellent addition to any cruiser.  I also learned about
Oceangrafix.com which is a NOAA site that allows you to search and review
virtually every chart made.  Using this site, and about six hours of time, I
was able to follow the GIWW from Galveston to New Orleans, zooming in and out,
and select anchorages for the entire route, on charts none of which were older
than 2006.
