Anyone know what the purpose of these 6' long cabinets might be?

Laugh all you want, but for the first 5 or 6 years I boated in Fishers Island Sound, I always had a paper chart open.

I only had local ones on Pau Hana but I had paper charts. I had a list on the NOAA site of what I would need once we started more extended cruising, and I learned chart corrections/updates on my first CG ship.

Speaking of paper charts, who recalls Predicted Log contests? I tried to get a few friends interested but they rarely even turn on the vhf. Enough said

Yes Skye..... I usually put my sextant on top of my charts to keep them rom rolling up, LOL.

Laugh all you want to. I still write down times at known positions, especially at night, so I can always figure my position if all electronics crash.

Again referencing my CG days, you were the boater we loved... Friend of mine at a small boat station asked caller in distress for location and they said "Lake Superior".

Ohh, That was a great idea (back to the thread).
