Mr. Jensen,
Your reply to my request for coordinates makes me feel like I am being
admonished, based upon erroneous assumptions of not being proper and prudent
When, in fact, I am not planning on using web sites for navigation.
What I am planning is taking a passenger ship cruise from Houston thru the
Gulf of Mexico and the Carib and thought it will be entertaining to take
along my hand held GPS and a chart. However the chart that arrived today from
West Marine does not all the coordinates I want. Therefore my request.
I am still looking for a web site of coordinates and would appreciate it if
anyone has a helpful reply.
Cheers- MW
