What?! Charts, again!?
My apologies. Though I know that this has seen the light of day here in the
past, my expected source for copied charts seems ephemeral if not
unavailable, after all (unless I want to fly to Chicago and go the library
there and live on the copiers up *there* - I'm near Atlanta - for however
long it would take).
So, in the past, I think I recall that governmental charts are available for
download and printing. I've got a potential source for large-scale printing
at an economical rate, so I'd like to explore that opportunity.
However, I've not been able to discover a catalog which could identify which
charts I'd want. The general area I'm interested in is the Eastern
Caribbean, essentially from the Bahamas to Venezuela - including the keys
and Cuba, and on the other end, the ABCs, if that's not already part of the
definition.
Does anyone have a URL for that catalog, and also the way to find how to
download the ones of interest? I've tried to search for DMA, NEMA, NOAA and
others, and even called the governmental office, which led me to a useless
FAA site.
Failing the above, I'd be interested, actually, probably more, in knowing
where to find charts and a large-scale copier in the Atlanta area (in the
same location - I have found a couple of university reference departments
with charts, but no catalog, and no copier).
Thanks...

"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a clear
night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize that you are
quite alone on a great, wide sea, it is apt to occur to you that in the
general scheme of things you are merely an insignificant speck on the
surface of the ocean; and are not nearly so important or as self-sufficient
as you thought you were. Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one
that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly
appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin
