The weakness in that approach is that the paper degrades from use, and pretty soon you have an illegible (or, torn) chart. I cut mine into 11 inch x 17 inch pieces and have them laminated. They survive well. Keep 'em in a bunch of Lucite shelves above my computer workstation when not in use. They roll up inside a flyrod case that I pack underdeck as a knee tube and I extract them when needed. For an overview, I get a smaller scale chart (or make a color copy reduced) which allows me to make sense of the 11 x 17 inch chunks. That gets laminated, also, because it always seems to be raining when I want to look at a chart. Sending photos of the Lucite chart shelves backchannel, also, Evan. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
