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!

How many bottles of beer...in the bag?!?

Boating and drinking go hand in hand. Thankfully our Not For Navigation chart and map bags are constructed so strong they can tote all your booze and then some! The clip close tote has earned a new title...booze bag ;)

Next time you're packing your cooler see how many beers you can fit in your chart tote! Or champagne, or wine, or rum... For a little punch!  

Take a pic and post it for us to see! How many bottles fit in your  { Not For Navigation } bag!

yacht bottle carrier

What fun is yachting without some adult beverages?  If you're like my friends and I in Miami, you'll need a sturdy tote to carry all those bottles!

My friend in Miami, also one of NFN's largest fans, has a tote with her favorite area, the Exumas in the Bahamas. I thought she would use it as a beach bag...I should have known better. She used it as a "yacht bottle carrier"!!  I know you're thinking...how many bottles of wine can one carry in our clip close tote?

 10! She carried them "nicely gathered up and down the pier" ...and then stuffed it with jugs of Fireball!  

They know how to party in the little latitudes for sure!

bubbly, beach & bags

"Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right."  F Scott Fitzgerald

Hot sun, sand between your toes, and some ice cold bubbly. Heaven.

Our nautical chart and map bags are the perfect pair for when the bubbles hit your head. Even thought they are Not For Navigation, they can certainly help in a pinch if you can't find your way home!

 

let me be free to travel the world

Anyone get the travel bug in the fall?? I do!

Sometimes travel isn't always an option. Nautical charts and maps of your favorite places as decoration on a pillow, accessory, or tote are a great way to keep the light at the end of the tunnel! At a glance the image of an area can quickly send you to your happy place :)

These make great gifts for anyone who wants to be free...traveling the world...but just can't get away.

miami heat

It's mid-August... rainy.. and raw on Cape Ann. Days like this I wish I lived in Miami.

But since I don't, I use my Miami tote bag so I can carry my things and dream of going to South Beach.  Or of sailing Biscayne Bay where my dear friend in the little latitudes pointed out to me that last night, she was where the "N" is in Biscayne Bay! Just one more awesome thing about the chart bags...the memories they hold!

So...on this dreary day...my Miami chart bag will turn up the heat while I day dream of warm ocean breeze, salt water hair, hot sand between my toes, and a super cold cocktail.
