| Well yeah, just ignore the fact that Bubbles had charts.

| | I have that cruising guide. It is not just "LIS" but rather all of New

shopping
| in
| | port, it is not very good for navigation. It has no chartlets in it
and
| | information often is inconsistent with reality. I am amazed that anyone
| would
| | set out for an unfamiliar port armed only with it and without proper
| charts. A
| | copy of Eldridge would also be wise to predict the current and tide not
| only
| | for that inlet, but also to take advantage of (or avoid) the currents
| available
| | along that entire trip.
