For the avoidance of doubt, this package covers in detail all major Ports and Harbours within Spain and Portugal waters, plus the Atlantic islands, inc Cape Verdes. It DOES NOT contain detailed chartlets of every small craft harbour/marina/cala on these coasts. Used for passage-making with calls at major harbours (eg La Coruna, Lisbon, Palma, Ibiza, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, etc etc), this chartset is fine. Used in conjunction with a decent pilot book with chartlets it's fine for a proper and deep exploration of these areas.

"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."
