Legal stuff

"The very model for distribution of raster charts is Visitmyharbour.com == a small company based right here in Cowes where I am now. They sell fully updated and officially "for navigation" raster charts of the entire UK plus Belgium and Netherlands for 60 pounds == more than 1000 charts. With a year of free updates. They also sell cheaply or give away tons and tons and tons of other extremely useful navigation and pilotage information == this company is an absolutely fantastic resource. Unfortunately! They are only slowly expanding their coverage, and haven't gotten to the Baltic yet."
