Default Bermuda bound Q's

wrote:
In April I will be sailing from the Delaware River to Bermuda.

I've made a list of charts that cover the crossing and the islands, but
does anyone have preferences between DMA vs British, etc?

How about cruising guides - are there any? I bought a "Yachtsman's Guide
to Bermuda" about 20 yrs ago, but I cannot find a current or even recent
edition.

Any info appreciated.

I think that British Admiralty paper charts are the best. They are the
standard throughout the non-American world both with Navy and commercial
vessels. I would only use American charts in American waters or water
where the local charts weren't in English and I couldn't get Admiralty
charts.

Digital charts are a different matter.
