NOAA Nautical Charts Free Downloads! Great find.

I posted this on the Gimme Shelter III, but wanted to place it here as well.  NOAA just came out with an experimental chart format in booklet form.  You can download and print these booklets with maps of all the West Coast.  These booklets really have great info prior to the maps.  It is our NOAA at work.  Warning the charts are large downloads 5-8 megabites.  Dial up beware!  The reduced size charts are perfect for the kayak angler!
