One of my sailing mates uses a chart just like that one - has done for years. And he also has an old copy of the HO 'Home Waters Catalogue' for plotting his delivery trips from distillery to distillery, and offshore ventures like the RBR. "Don't worry", he says. "The rocks don't change. This boat knows where all of them are...."

A good point!
I still use paper charts...possibly a bit newer, however!

I believe that forumite had a problem with that chart. Something to do with the Cleit Rock, I heard.....

 

[Kilter]

The chart was wrong? The rock had moved? The skipper was pished? Or some other problem? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Happy New Year btw!
