[Paddlewise] BC Coastal Charts?

I'm planning a long solo trip from Seattle to Juneau, and the cost of charts 
could run into several hundred dollars.  Does anyone know of a way to obtain 
British Columbia coastal charts for anything less than the 
government-regulated price, which here in the US translates to US$16-20, 
depending on the retailer I talked to?  One retailer in Seattle is willing to 
sell photocopies of US charts for $6.50 apiece, but he can't copy the 
Canadian charts because of copyright restrictions.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I have heard of people doing this trip 
with nothing other than AAA maps for guidance, and others have recommended 
taking as detailed maps as I can find.  I tend toward the latter approach...
