GL: Fifteen pounds of loop cartography and guides to LEND

[Rich Gano]

The deal is, when you get to my neighborhood here in the Panama City area,
you have to come stay at our pier (slip 6 feet deep at low tide and 45 feet
air draft limit, 18 feet wide and capable of any length you have) to return
them.  Lacking that, I'll accept them back by mail.  You pay shipping either
way.

While some chart booklet dates look a little long in the past, there is
little that is updated.  I only found one or two places on the T-Tom where
my chart plotter ran us across the neck of an oxbow (i.e. the chart booklet
was wrong).  But who cares when you are in a ditch anyway?  The Rumsey Guide
is a bit dated, and I think Fred Myers is not publishing any more.

Available are the following US Army Corps of Engineers chart booklets:

Cumberland River Navigation Charts Smithland, Kentucky to Celina, TN.
January 2003

Tennessee River Navigation Charts Paducah, KN to Knoxville, TN.  Jan 2000

Upper Black Warrior - Tombigbee Waterway Junction of Black Warrior and
Tombigbee Rivers at Demopolis, AL to Head of Navigation on Mulberry, Locust
and Sipsey Forks. May 1995

Lower Black Warrior - Tombigbee Waterway Mobile, AL to Junction of Black
Warrior and Tombigbee rivers at Demopolis, AL.  September 1989

Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Tennessee River to Junction of Black Warrior at
Mile 217.  May 1987

The following guides are included:

The Tenn-Tom Nitty Gritty Cruise Guide by Fred Myers, fifth edition. 2003

The Tennessee River Cruise Guide by Fred Myers, fifth edition. 2004

Cruising guide to the Tennessee River, Tenn-Tom Waterway, and Lower
Tombigbee River by the Rumseys. 1995

I am leaving these things at the house and will thus not be able to mail
them once we depart for southern waters some time after this coming weekend.
I'll post this on the GL list on the off chance there is a taker there who
doesn't read this list.
