Re: Paper charts now unnessary

Dunno, but your laptop will do currents, tides, moon, etc. with some of the widely available software. No internet required.

Re: Paper charts now unnessary

As a practical matter, why not resolve any doubts about variances in accuracy b'twn your electronic vs. paper charts by plotting your entire route on your electronic chart first, and then plot the...

Re: Paper charts now unnessary

I think you're some sort of old school anti-technology curmudgeon. Just kidding!:D Truth be told, I'm actually quite envious of sailors like you who presumably started out long before the age of...

Re: Paper charts now unnessary

Thank you for that.

I take it that this system is reserved -- based on cost or otherwise -- for commercial vessels. Apart from the redundancy, I'm curious what presumably makes it that much more...

Re: Paper charts now unnessary

This device has been mentioned before. Could someone explain what this is, what the acronym stands for, and how it differs from the chartplotters common on recreational vessels?

Thanks!

Re: Paper charts now unnessary

How did your backup systems that you stashed in the microwave do in that lightning storm? There seems to be debate about how well this works, but I don't think I've read a first-hand account where...

Re: Paper charts now unnessary

What, if I may ask, do you use for a Faraday cage? Is it a purpose-built item or just a simple aluminum or steel box? What do you think of the use of a microwave oven as noted above?

I'm also...

Re: Paper charts now unnessary

My understanding is that this is exactly the case, for e.g., with Garmin's electronic charting for the Bahamas. They are based directly on the Explorer paper charts which seem to have a good rep.

Re: Paper charts now unnessary

Just out of curiosity, what does a stack of charts from an entire circumnavigation look like? That's quite a valuable asset to accompany a boat. Must also be a bit of a logistical challenge, but so...

Re: Paper charts now unnessary

Yes, the scenario described mandates daylight arrival. If the availability of a chartplotter induces a sailor to attempt it at night, it's poor seamanship on the part of the sailor; not the...

Re: Paper charts now unnessary

Do I recall the OP noting that he did a circumnavigation some years back? His comments certainly have this relative noob's attention, as do the useful comments of other experienced sailors on this...
