Nautical Charts - Golfo de California


When my grandfather passed away a few years ago, I found this in his garage. Strange because he wasn't a sailor and I'm unaware of him ever going to Baja.

Keep scanning and showing! I see the old main road as it was before 1973, going through El Arco.:light:

Trippy. I didn't even notice the old road on there David. This map is like 5 feet tall, not sure how I can scan it. I can take pictures of certain parts of it if you'd like.

Other than the one road...? I guess guys in boats don't need to see beyond the shoreline!? :biggrin:

I used to have a full set of the charts, but my house fire ate them.
Would you like to sell your set, Ateo?

I have a set in my Lowrance HDS5 GPS chart plotter (on my kayak), but I would be interested in seeing what difference there is between your set and the ones I have.

Udo,

I don't think I'd be willing to sell this as it has some sentimental value. You're free to swing by and take as many pictures as possible. You could swing by the Hobie factory - I'm close by!!!

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
