Thank you for the offer of charts.  Would you like a wardrobe full?  I’ve a collection from 2000(ish) all the way from the Humber to the East Coast of Sweden taking in Humber to Lowestoft to Ijmuiden; most of Holland; Most of Germany including Helgoland; most of Denmark; and most of the Southern Half of Sweden including the Gota Canal and enroute lakes.  I dare not add up the purchase prices.  I’ve been meaning for a while to offer them in exchange for a small contribution to charity to anyone thinking of sailing that way, but I’ve never got round to it.  They would need to be passed on by hand because postage would be prohibitive.  As most are 20 years out of date, they’d be no use for navigation (well they might be, but I always think of the subsequent board of inquiry).

The problem with the Humber itself is that it changes so rapidly.   Above The Bridge, a new chart is published approximately bi-monthly.  Below The Bridge, there’s a new chart annually or biannually.  All is available online if your good with computers.  You can go out in the survey vessel, and by the time you get back to dock, the information you’ve just gathered will already be online.  DaveP
