Sea of Cortez & Pacific Mexico : a new chart layer

October 2019

Peio

The two sets of Blue Latitude charts, Sea of Cortez and Mexico, Pacific coast, are combined and available as a new raster nautical chart layer available for Weather 4D R&N

135 nautical raster charts are displayed in the GeoGarage platform, based on digital material directly issued from the Blue Latitude Press (BLP) :

Using the most up to date information available and their own surveys, BLP has created the most complete set of charts for the anchorages and harbors most visited by boaters within Mexico's spectacular Sea of Cortez and Pacific Mainland Coast.

Derived from their best selling guidebooks, Sea of Cortez: A Cruiser's Guidebook and Pacific Mexico: A Cruiser's Guidebook.

These two chart sets pick up what the official government charts leave out : these charts are intended to supplement the official government charts (from SEMAR, not yet available in the GeoGarage platform) and are not for navigation

- the Sea of Cortez set includes all of the popular harbors and anchorages from Cabo San Lucas to Guaymas, including La Paz, Loreto, Bahia Concepcion, Santa Rosalia, Bahia de los Angeles, San Carlos and everything in between.

- the Pacific Mainland Mexico set includes all of the popular harbors and anchorages from Mazatlan to Bahias de Huatulco, including San Blas, Puerto Vallarta, Manzanillo, Zihuatanejo, Acapulco and everything in between.

Note :
The Blue Latitude Charts are quite specific : they provide information for anchoring and exploration of spots where other chart sources are not or only with difficulties available.
The authors of the chart underline:  These harbor and anchorage charts are intended to supplement existing cartography, and “fill in the blanks" with the anchorage level detail lacking in other sources.
