	Nautical Chart Basics
		Nautical charts are different from maps in that they specifically depict water areas, while maps concentrate on land area, roads, landmarks, etc. Land areas and features on charts are sketchy and are noted only for their interest to the boater.
		Unlike maps, the nautical chart conveys much information specifically designed to assist in safely navigating the area that the chart covers.
		We notice that as we approach the first bridge with 10 foot of vertical clearance, there is a special note on the chart (Note: D) which advises that we should use extreme caution because of turbulent waters around bridges over the Point Pleasant Canal.
