I am seeking to purchase some paper (water resistant/waterproof) charts to have on my boat....I am new to sailing and would like to learn about navigation without all the electronics.....I have no problem with using a small GPS....but the last thing I want/need is schlepping an iPad on board the boat, or the expense of a chart plotter.....
I'm looking for Southern California, Marina del Rey, Newport Beach, San Diego, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Catalina, etc....
With the USCG dropping the requirement for paper charts (Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular, NVIC 01-16) , I suspect they COULD become harder to obtain. As a visual/tactile guy, this saddens me.....I love technology as much as the next guy/gal, but I'm into sailing for the "analog" experience of it. I'm in front a computer enough....I dont need it while I'm sailing. (Does that sound prima donnish?)
