Bimini Babe 0 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Get rid of paper charts altogether??? Never!!! “Is there any greater delight, when the nights draw in, than to sprawl in front of the fire, a heavy Admiralty chart unfolded on the rug? Now everything is possible. Every sea can be traversed with the run of a fingertip. Headwinds count for nothing. Rocky headlands can be skirted without fear. Storms melt away. The ice-pack too. Great and wondrous voyages can be accomplished in a single minute. It is a time to dream.” Link to post Share on other sites

SloopJohnB 323 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Along with my singled handed brass compass should be full set of 1973 Ozzie charts from Cabbage Tree Island in the north and Tasmania in the south and NZ in the west. Link to post Share on other sites

Dambo 44 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I keep a set of old charts at home which come out prior to a trip, they're spread on the floor and the kids pour over them choosing bays they want to explore and plotting a course to get us safely there, then when on board they come out most days just for sightings and comparison to the CheapPS- part of getting them involved from the start - seems to work quite well too Link to post Share on other sites
