For us in US, I believe the Coast Guard requires paper charts be on board? I'm always worried if I get boarded, they might not accept my 1986 chartkits. Has that changed?

Seriously though, I too always have paper charts and try and keep a plot going with GPS positions, hopefully every hour. Generational because I distinctly remember losing GPS (very, very early days of GPS) on a delivery down through the Bahamas. Nice to kinda know where we were.

For offshore passages I also carry a sextant and the materials needed to reduce a sight. I am surprised that professional, highly paid, top of their industry navigators and skippers to not have even a large area overview chart on paper. Maybe it is a generational thing that I do not trust electronics to stand between me and a safe passage.

If I think about it, I’ve got a bit lax lately, relying more and more on digital charts. I’m going to get a bit more rigorous from now on and use/check my paper charts a lot more. sam :-) C&C 26 Liquorice Ghost Lake Alberta <blockquote> _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com </blockquote> _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
