Charts are a wrap with help from our friends

The voyage from Fremont to Juneau will take us exploring the Inside Passage in-depth. Up fiords, circumnavigating islands, exploring shorelines and crossing expanses of open seas.  Although Quijote has excellent electronic navigation systems, having a full set of paper charts is not only a good back-up, it will be a daily event for the crew to review, explore and plan on the paper charts for the route ahead. 

With about 60 charts needed for this trip, it's not a minor expense to have a full set.  A big thank you to John Green and John Hastil for loaning us many of their charts to complete our set.  You'll both be with us on this trip!  Thanks for your encouragement, good will and huge savings!
