() Hi Tom,
I've been poring over the great little chart book Maptech puts out..Casco Bay to Camden all winter. And Open CPN...amazing tech.
Just wondering.... what do you use to write on the laminated chart...regular No. 2, something like a grease pencil? Also.... I've seen some nice substitutes for parallel rulers, which are too cumbersome the cockpit....any suggestions?

- Sounds like you're using them. Truth is, I haven't penciled a bearing, drawn a course/speed line, in years.
- I've read that the military isn't using paper anymore
- Almost took up drafting mid life. Wanted to draw on my past experiences but the details were too sketchy..
