Looks like wasted space too me. A Garmin with map display in the cockpit is
more than adequate for motoring in the LIS. Add a backup GPS driving a laptop
down below for backup on more distant excursions. Get a plastic chart of LIS and
use it for a table cloth in the galley - handier for determining a course than
zooming around on the laptop and you can impress folks by keeping position on it
in grease pencil. Of course if you're into nostalgia .......

A Texaco road map would be adequate for what Bubbles does.

Actually, the City Island diner has Map of the Long Island Sound
place-mats. I stole one and it's even laminated. It says "Not to be
used for navigational purposes" at the bottom, but it works fine.

Not quite, Bob. Happy New Year.

Hey, Marc...that you?
Happy new year to you and the wife!

Absolutely. Maybe I'll bring the boat up and we'll see what you can
do.

That would be a lot of fun. I plan to have her ready in early April. I
have to get the rig up and tuned, but other than that she's all set.
