My friends Gary and Jim have between them owned about 12 wooden boats. They have electronic navigation and they have charts; they have quartz clocks and mechanical with bells.

Nowadays I navigate with an old iPad and on it an app called navionics which is surprisingly accurate. So accurate I even trust it. Having said that; I never leave port without old fashioned (paper) maps.
