maui babe

be mine

With Valentines day on the way, I'm sure you're wondering what the perfect gift will be this holiday for her. 

Something different, something special...hmmm where to begin! This is the struggle for most around a gift-giving holiday. 

Share her most cherished location and let us create a unique piece made special for her!  

Featured below is a beach bag with the Hawaiian islands chart on it. Maybe you honeymooned there...first vaca... Plan a trip and this is how you'll tell her where you're going! ❤️❤️❤️

play time

One good thing about every day after dec 21 is it stays lighter a minute longer each day. And that's about the only good thing until summer is here.  

Luckily I get to look at cool maps and charts of warm and sometimes exotic areas of the world. This keeps me inspired and focused on why I work so hard: play time. Aka fun in the sun!!  

I have my heart set on a Bahamas trip this year, but hawaii doesn't sound too bad either!

White sandy beach in Hawaii

"White Sandy Beach Of Hawai'i"

I saw you in my dream

We were walking hand in hand

On a white sandy beach of Hawaii

We were playing in the sun

We were having so much fun

On a white sandy beach of Hawaii

The sound of the ocean

Soothes my restless soul

The sound of the ocean

Rocks me all night long

Those half-hound summer days

lying there in the sun

On a white sandy beach of Hawaii

The sound of the ocean

Soothes my restless soul

The sound of the ocean

Rocks me all night long

Last night in my dream

I saw your face again

We were there in the sun

On a white sandy beach

On... oooonnnnn of Hawaii

Magic

All the maps and charts we design our products with are beautiful in their own right. This one of Magic Island in Hawaii is particularly intriguing as I wonder the why's of how this place gained this name. 

Hawaii is certainly a magical place...is this island especially magical?  

Guess I'll have to go there to find out!!!

beach day snack

As healthy an eater as I am, I can never pass up potato chips. We love this photo of our Not For Navigation nautical chart bags paired with Cape Cod potato chips - yes - they're there...hiding in the back! 

This was sent in from one of NFN's biggest fans...and apparently they use the best suntan lotion as well! I'll have to give this combo a try next time I'm basking in the sun!
