As I've said, I don't always have a chart on deck in the inner harbor - 3 or 4 miles. And
I can do a fair job of drawing a pilot's chart for the outer harbor from memory - as I'm
sure you could for your home waters.

I keep remembering an incident about 12 years ago in Boston: a club boat, a Soling, was in
the outer harbor in the Fall I think, and ran aground on a spit that uncovers at half
tide - Brewster Spit, for those that know the harbor. They ended up dying of exposure
that night. It turned out they did not have a chart with them.

Good God! Don't tell me you still use paper charts in Oz? Well no wonder!

Paper charts don't work anymore? They don't make batteries for them?
