Good idea Fred. My 11 year old, now 15, did the DR plot like that we did the Caribbean 1500. He'd also log other notes along the way such as where we caught a fish, went swimming (yes, we did the mid-ocean lap around the boat) or spotted dolphins. We still have the chart and it's a pretty cool memento of our trip.
