[Rhodes22-list] All right, Brad, Mark - Free Navigation Charts -

[Kroposki]

Brad, Mark:
	Help, how do you find the index to charts and the how do you
download them so that you can see them?  I was able to find and download
the 7C's software.  I tried to download some sort of chart, but the
program does not recognize it.  I need some of your expertise.
	Thank you,
                 Ed k

FYI Chesapeake Rhodies,

The ENC chart w/ Swan Creek and Middle River on it is Us5md12m. South
River
& Annapolis are on Us5md13m, and Us517m covers the southern part of the
Chester River down to the Miles River, including St. Michaels and the
Wye
River.
