My "go now and go simple" attitude to cruising doesn't come with a long list of "must have" items and cruising gear. But I have to admit, the new electronic charts just released by the authors of my two favorite cruising guides get added to my "must have" list.



The subject of electronic charts being "off" for many places in Mexico always comes up when your GPS shows you anchored in the middle of an island or 500ft inland on the La Paz Malacon. We have been using the two Mexico cruising guides by Sean and Heather for years and love them and tell anyone planning a cruise to Mexico to buy the two guide books, even if you have to cut out a few tacos, they are that valuable!





We are excited that they now have the data and way points listed in their books available on a downloadable program that you can load on your Ipad, Iphone, or computer that overlays their charts and data with Google earth and other charting programs. These new electronic charts from them are a great option for those looking for a cheap and accurate charting solution for their time cruising Mexico. It's also a bonus that they are fellow cruisers and great people themselves, which can make you feel good about buying their products and supporting their cruising kitty!
