Kayak Charts
These charts can be resized without loss of clarity so that one map can provide detailed information about a small area or an overview of a large area. They are vector graphics, not bitmaps. Currently, four charts in this format are available for download.
- Washington Olympic coast from Cape Flattery and Tatoosh Island at the north end to Ruby Beach and Destruction Island at the south end
- Cape Scott, the Scott Islands, and the northern coast of Vancouver Island including parts of Quatsino Sound
- Waters around Nootka Island, including Esperanza Inlet and Nootka Sound
- Sinclair Island in the San Juan Islands of Washington
Go to the individual download pages to download the charts for each region. These are PDF files and each chart contains high-resolution data for the entire area it covers.
Printing Part of a PDF Map
Zoom to the portion of the map you wish to print after you have downloaded and opened the PDF. Using Acrobat, the easiest way to select an area is to use the Marquee Zoom tool. If this tool does not appear on your toolbar (above the PDF document), right-click on the toolbar, select More Tools, and under Select and Zoom Toolbar, check the box for Marquee Zoom.
Click the Print button on the toolbar. Under Print Range, select Current View, then click OK.
You may need to click a disclosure button in the Print dialog box to see the relevant options.
