Hey Ken,,, that site is real good. It is what I am looking for except I
want to just have the photos on a laptop computer.

The good thing about the ariel photos is that I can cross reference. Take a
look at the chart, cross reference the photo.

It give me another look.

For example: say you are entering an area to anchor. You look on the
chart, seems like a few areas would be perfect. Then, look on the photo.
Since the photo is probably taken in the middle of summer on a beautiful
day, you will see boats at anchor. Kinda tells you what area is best for
anchoring in by where the boats are.

Just another tool.


I'm sure there is a cd out there somewhere that has the photos. The book
that is for sale with the Maine ports is very nice, and I would buy it if it
came with the cd as well. My guess, the author is affraid people will
download the photos and send them off for free.

I think a book, with photos, with cd, with local knowledge ... is a great
resource .

I realise this isn't what you are looking for but it is an interesting
resource just the same. Aerial photography, in fact multiple shots and
views, of most harbours, many land marks and navaids throughout North
America and the world. They make you pay for copies but at least you
can view them online for free:
