They are not 1:40,000 charts. They are even worse :-)  1:50,000 - and they
are so-called "kayaking maps", not real marine charts.  No details of
currents or reefs.  It only shows wide areas with reefs and currents.
 Also, - dirt roads, marinas, navaids, RV parks etc.  And potential
campsites for kayakers - many of them useful only under certain wind
condtitions.  Similar to Baja kayaking maps by Ed Gillet. I couldn't find
his maps locally, and bought these:
