BVI to Bermuda

Hi Friends,
I'm joining a boat for the upcoming ARC USA from the BVI to Bermuda.
The boat will have all sorts of charts and electronics.
However being archaic and a bit paranoid I always travel with my own charts
and Delorme InReach. I like to keep up with the boats navigation with my
own. It's great practice, gives me something to do and provides me with
great souvenirs of my passages.
So my question is:
Is NGA chart 124 the best one to obtain for this endeavor?
Any other recommendations welcome.
I'd like to keep this to one chart at the smallest scale possible.
Cheers
Neil

We use iPad or iPhone with Garmin Blue charts mobile (North America v2016.5 ) cost $45

Covers all the cruising grounds your talking about.

Best, most accurate charts of the Caribbean.

Thanx Cotemar
However I'm interested in recommendations
for paper charts, the boat has full up electronics
but i like to keep traditional paper charts
Keeps the skills up and gives me great
souvenirs of my passages.

Re: BVI to Bermuda

A suggestion may be the Imray 100 Atlantic passage planning chart.

Waterproof paper, manageable size and lots of auxiliary information on it. Very easy to plot your daily progress.
