I've always found the GSHHS Shoreline Database to be
excellent for water (and land, for that matter). Although,
I see they have version 2.0.x out now, and they have changed
the header size YET AGAIN!!! It makes it very difficult
to keep up. I've modified my copy at work, but haven't yet
updated my web page versions. If you decide to go this
route, let me know, and I'll move this up a bit in priority.
