Thanks

No.

Maybe someone here would be willing to sell or trade for a reasonable
price.

I did find a guy on ebay who had Canadian charts for a very, very
reasonable price. I use them with Fugawi and they seem fine.

Now some folks get highly upset at the suggestion of buying charts from
ebay believing that the georeferencing may have been messed with.

However, I have found that I can self validate charts a couple of
different ways and assure myself they are reasonably accurate. However,
someone could make some subtle error, that would be difficult to catch,
and could get you into trouble, if you are blindly trusting the charts.

On the other hand, if you just want electronic versions, and use them as
you would paper charts, I would venture that they are probably as
accurate as the charts they came from.

So, caveat emptor, but I would check ebay.
