So, a couple years ago I loaned my Kettlewell for the Gulf Coast to an
individual who didn't return same. As I'm getting ready (am ready) to
head south and needed paper charts to augment the OpenCPN and
ActiveCaptain electronics finding same became imperative. Anyway,
searching on the usual US sites (including bluewaterweb, Defender, et
al) along with Amazon, Half, ... brought copies that were way out of
line with reality ($300 was the least expensive!!!)

Solution: www.amazon.co.uk -- found a copy and for $40 total US it's on the way
Thought I'd mention it in case others might have a guidebook or three
they need that are hard-to-find on this side of the pond.

Estimated arrival: first week in November (via Air Mail)
