If you are interested in learning more about east coast cruising I'd
recommend downloading the free NOAA charts along with a chart viewer.
I have spent endless hours in the off season "cruising" on computer
charts and planning the next trip. For me, there's always a next
trip...

You can also download the coast pilots for free which have a wealth of
detailed information. The Atlantic coast waterway guides are another
good source, along with the "Skipper Bob" books.

Thanks. I'll probably wait until I get a boat though. Well, maybe
I'll download the Florida charts since I'll be there soon looking at
boats. What chart viewer do you recommend?
