Hi Gordon, Thanks for the idea of photos, charts and souvenirs.
As for nautical charts, years ago I thought about writing an article for CRUISING or some other magazine, the main idea being: "A Lifetime of Sailing Weights 63.2 Pounds" It would have gone into details of how you accumulate 63.2 pounds of charts over 50 years. My Charts cover: the Stockholm archipelago; Danish islands and the Baltic the Elbe River and Kiel canal the Netherlands, Isselmeer, inland canals and coast Dutch, Belgian and French inland waterways the English Channel - Belgian, French and British ports the Seine Elba and Corsica in the Med. plus the Italian coast to Porto Fino the Adriatic: Italian coast and Yugoslavian coasts New England.......... New York to Boston and beyond It becomes quite a collection over time, as do the all the Sailing Instructions; Light Lists; Tide Tables, plus book listing maritime expressions in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, so that you can make yourself understood in the other country. To shake up the natives, my dinghy has a Plimsoll mark on each side. Connie _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
