Carefully Read Over Your Charts
When you are new to an area or are planning a trip to a new
area, carefully read over your charts.
There may be some interesting surprises.
For instance: on NOAA Chart 18421 Strait of Juan de Fuca to
Strait of Georgia there are two islands – both named “James Island”. One of these is just east of Decatur Is. in
Rosario Strait (in the United States).
The other is between Vancouver Is. and Sidney Is. in Canada.
So, be careful to carefully look at your chart for
incongruities like these. The viewing
may save you embarrassment later.
