[Rhodes22-list] Free Navigation Charts - Swan Creek

[Bill Effros]

Brad,

I print out on plain paper, 2 sides, then laminate the paper on both sides
with 8 1/2 x 11 laminating sheets available from business supply stores.
The resulting sheets are completely waterproof, last for years, and can be
written on and erased with water based markers.
