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.
