I have my garmin handheld with 2008 Bluechart on it. Is this outdated? has any navigable channels changed since 2008 ? more missing buoys at anegada?

thanks

I still use mine - at least the islands and the rocks haven't moved but I never count on every marker still being there so I wouldn't trust the newer charts that much more. Honestly, I think I have everything memorized by now but I still check the chart the night or morning before just in case and we keep a watch out and try to arrive with the sun overhead so we can read the water if it's a dicey area.
