Default NOT giving up my paper charts

I have had it. With all my problems with electronic stuff, I will
never give up my paper charts (I never did fortunately) and will
continue plotting by hand and using my hand held compass for near
shore nav. I am spending far more time repairing electronic stuff
than I am using it.

Consider getting better gear. My gear doesn't fail, including a
handheld mapping GPS that's now several years old. I've largely
abandoned paper charts, with a sigh of relief. I've been on boats where
all the paper charts got wet and ruined.
