I just hope to get the new boat (C&C 27 Mk III) up and running and out on the water!

I borrowed many of the paper charts to complete the coverage. If you cannot find a particular chart or two send me a list and I will check Calypso’s chart table. I also joined Club Jeppeson (C-Map) for a year to update Calypso’s electronic charts for the PNW. The club fee vs. the charge per update was a good value. I used Capt’s in Seattle for the harder to find harbor detail charts. Also, I had to replace a dozen charts that were loaned to me after UPS scattered them through their distribution center. Capt’s was very helpful and had the charts in stock. If you are looking for route planning opinions let me know. We lucked out in Johnstone Straits and had 3 to 4 hours of downwind sailing in company with Pacific White sided dolphins. We did not luck out in regards to rain. It was wet from Campbell River to Tofino. I will go back to Nootka Sound and Barkley Sound. Although it was awesome cruising, I don’t have a strong desire to spend more time north of Seymour Narrows on the inside. The visibility and outdoor activities were limited by too much rain and fog. Maybe a different month/year would have a better weather pattern. We did find several areas where the GPS, C-Map, and paper charts all varied from our observed position. I spent an hour with the dinghy and lead line to be sure of an anchorage as all three navigational aids differed from our own compass bearings and plotting. I suspect some of the older paper charts we had on board (20 to 30 years old) included data gathered by Geo. Vancouver himself. If you have spare reading time check out Barry Gough’s book “Juan de Fuca’s Straits”. I am on the last few pages of this great history of PNW exploration. Much of the waters and events around Vancouver Island are discussed. Mr. Gough lives in Victoria.

I have all the electronic charts I need, now I have to find paper charts to be legal (and smart). Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 9 January 2013 18:12, Richard N.
