The more nav options to cross check the better is how I look at it, but local knowledge is priceless! In regards to the airplane pictures, Tony of Mardi Gras sent me a nice book of aerial photo's that included entrances to many anchorages....can't remember the title right now dangit! Tony you out there?? I would recommend this book to a newbie to get a feel for things, even if youre a regular you would like it! Heading to Annapolis/Kent Island for Christmas eve with family, cheers! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />
