They actually had the charts, but didn’t look!

I always have a paper chart(s) as a back-up to the chart plotter.  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.

Interesting reading!


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.
