When you are cutting up charts, are you being sure to cut large enough to
keep at least one Rose on the page, or
are you putting a new one on or are you just cutting the sections you
need and not worrying about the actual
navigational stuff on the chart?


Dave had drawn lat. and long.lines on the charts before cutting them up
[I think].  What I did was put them back together on the floor at home
and put marks to make it easy to re-assemble the whole chart.  Things
like an arrow with an "A" on one piece lining up with an arrow and
another "A" on the adjoining piece and so on.  Then, each morning, any
navigational info was written into a log or put into a GPS, things like
target campsites or lunch stops, reading from the whole chart.  When
underway, only the segments were needed.  It was no problem at all.  

I never missed the roses, even when I stopped to smell the flowers.
