Here's another tip regarding chart cases. Mine comes from Mountain Equipment Coop (MEC). It's the smaller one that is not square. This makes it hard to fold the charts as they have to be narrow at one end. Which leaves you with wasted space at the top end. This is inevitably right where you will paddle off the chart. I've learned to live with this short coming. However here's the words of caution for any case with a zip lock seal. When you've come ashore for lunch, camp set up or what ever, and decide to refold your chart. Be very very careful not to get any microscopic grains of sand in the zip seal. If you do - you now have a wet bag. paddle faster gordin Warner *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
