Jean,
If all else fails, try going to the local airport. One or more of the local
"fixed base operators" that specializes in flight instruction should have a
small store where they sell aviation related supplies. Among those should
be Jeppesen navigation charts. If they don't carry a high altitude chart of
the Caribbean, they should be able to order one or tell you where to get
one. You want a high altitude large scale chart because it will be less
cluttered without the low altitude airway depictions and navaid beacons,
however the islands should be there. All of these charts should have
latitude & longitude lines and with a little practice with a ruler and
dividers, you will have all the waypoints you want. Besides, it's good
practice for the boating world. Just remember, depending on the type of
chart, the longitude lines may not be parallel and the latitude lines may be
curved. Therefore, draw a longitude line through the point first using the
tics on the nearest latitude lines, and then use the dividers to 1) measure
the distance from the nearest latitude line, and 2) transport that distance
to the nearest chart longitude line that has tics to read the latitude.
