The paper chart was an Admiralty chart, incorrect. The electronic chart was Navionics, incorrect. I wrote Navionics and they said they'd check on it and asked where I found the correct data. Charlie's Chart guide is incorrect, but I think they mentioned that charts in the area are off. The radar bearing is correct. Rain's guide is correct, agrees with the radar, and mentions that charts in the area are slightly fubarred. I suspect someone towed the island a mile or two just to keep wayward sailors on their toes.
