Larry,

Great talking with you again.

I want to let you know how much the Coast Guard Auxiliary appreciates your assistance in providing up to date charts for our classes. Our students really appreciate your charts and the ability to plot on them with a “Sharpie” while they are out at sea, and then wipe them clean for the next voyage.

It is a real safety factor to get boaters in the habit of actively plotting their course run as the Navy does. This way if the GPS decides to quit, they can still know where the were within a 30 minute time span and plot a course to save harbor utilizing their compass, as we used to do before the electronic era.
