My solution to your reading of charts problem is to get small, plastic reading glasses and put them on a neck cord. I stow it in a pocket of my lifejacket and pull it out to read a chart while underway. The neck cord has a velcro attachement so it can be pulled off my neck if it somehow gets tangled and becomes a threat. The glasses I get from American Science and Surplus: http://www.sciplus.com/search.cfm/scategory/MGF/term/reading/srch.fp/1 I have bought them at the store in different powers. They only cost thirty cents each. I usually wear them on shore as well, just for reading signs and recipes and things like that.
