Downloadable PRINTABLE NOAA Charts

[bobwebster]

I like to have some paper charts in case the GPS charts go away. At $20 a chart, that gets pretty expensive on a long trip. It seemed like there should be some standard format, printable copies of the NOAA Nautical Charts on the internet, but I couldn't find any. So I made some. Here are the NOAA charts in .png format, full resolution:

I have d/l 3 times using dif browsers & d/l pgms to dif drives, and all are corrupted. That is the only one out of 236 that I snagged that was messed up.
