Connie, Sounds like fun, We can get you a cart just for loading the charts and stuff. I may not have that much 'stuff' but quite a few. I have all the Coast Guard courses and Coastal charts too.We even have a clock with the face being the local 'chart' of Monterey Bay, CA (showing depths and all). I wanted to add some for Down Under but didn't connect with any good sailing craft while there (watch out for next time).
So yes, I won't admit how many years on the water (since a Sea Explorer), but my Daughter said something about me "handing Noah the nails". Have FUN with it.
