Storage

So I have an admission to make. I have a problem. You see for years now I have been scouring Craigslist in search of charts, Nautical charts to be exact. Sometimes I have been lucky and have been able to find the odd one here or there, and now I have well over 500 paper charts. I told you I had a problem. The Admiral has recently discovered that our bed is not quite as hard as she thought it was. The cat has found a new play area under the bed, the dogs are bewildered by this as well. See, I pulled all of the charts out from under the bed and moved them down into the basement. The admiral will never look down there I know it! 😉 Some of the charts have been sorted and, although I hate the idea, have been rolled up and placed into tubes identified in big black lettering as to what part of the world they belong to.

IMG_0646I have charts for almost all of the oceans in the world. I am missing a lot of the South Pacific, including Australia, and several areas around Europe, but I am pretty much covered anywhere else. 🙂

So if you are planning a trip to Magadan, in the Sea of Okhotsk and you are missing a chart or two, I probably have it. 🙂

So anyway, I am looking for suggestions for down the road as to how to store a complete set, or nearly complete set of world charts on a Whitby 42?
