   I was shopping for charts today and discovered the folks at Waterproof Charts have put together an EC chart kit. It's a pretty good value I think. I have no connection to this company, but thought others might benefit.

   33 is must and I think everyone has one. I have put a collection of their charts for cruising Florida together piecemeal by stopping at their store in Punta Gorda. Super nice folks to deal with. If I didn't have these already I would place an order. DWM

   How do you like these charts as compared to the popular "Top Spot" charts?

   I prefer these over top spot because they have less "clutter". The top spot with all the fishing spots, waypoints, and legends get kind of busy for me. You don't get to really concentrate when solo and not being a stellar multitasker the extras are just one more thing to filter out. But that is just me. DWM

   I prefer the Map Tech chart books though they are not waterproof. I keep them in a flat, purpose designed, clear zipper bag. They are about $140 for the entire Fl. West Coast and the Keys out to the Dry  Tortugas. Still, Waterproof Charts 33E is a must. The chart book is essentially two sets of charts, large scale for basic navigation and small scale for greater detail like in and out of check points, wilderness waterway and Florida Bay. These books also come with a CD to load on a laptop and selected charts can be printed onto waterproof paper. Pages are 16 x 21. Dave
