The greater danger with the charts of these areas is their accuracy - or the
enhancement of the accuracy of the new positioning system we use : the gps.
Your GPS will give you a very accurate fix, whereas the chart will have been
set up using a less accurate system.
Beware also at night of the missing/burnt buoys, it is quite frequent in this
area.
