CA Charts

From our experience, the charts for Mexico and south are not up to date nor

accurate and can be 2 to 4 miles off.  You can use offsets to compensate.  I
don't think there are any newer or more accurate charts.  Same with paper,
which we also have.  We just remain well offshore, use radar, d/s and
approach land in daylight carefully.
