    Why bother! Panbo just mentioned this -- Every raster and vector
    chart of U.S. waters plus PDF's of coast pilots and every other
    government publication. Two DVD's of stuff for forty bucks.

    Your time is worth something.

    One reason not to buy the CDs is to make yourself learn how to download
    these things and then do it regularly in order to stay current. If you look
    at NOAA's site they are constantly issuing new charts and updates. What is
    the "born on" date of the CD that you are buying? By the time you get it
    there are likely some updates available for download... I too struggled the
    first time but it gets easier. Maybe this would be a good wiki topic "How
    to download NOAA charts, as explained to an AARP eligible boater." <g>
