For those of you who long to paddle far off places - and for those who are lucky enough to live there (far off being relative to Texas, USA), here is a map source you may be interested in. I am excerpting a very long message sent by the company who produces these maps. If you would like to see the entire listing and prices, please send me a note off-channel and I'll forward the entire message to you and/or you may check the company Web site. I have no affiliation with this company, nor can I vouch for accuracy etc., just passing this along as a public information message to our paddling community. Oh to be in Guam or Palau or...
