   Thk you ,
   I’m going to inquire if all of the charts have the large print option. The peepers aren’t what they used to be!!

   Waterproof Charts will sell you a whole EC chart kit. I've got the set, but to tell the truth I seldom ever look at them. However, there was the time on a different race in SC when my GPS went overboard and I was glad to have a set of Waterproof charts. 

   The set is on sale at the moment. https://waterproofcharts.com/product/everglades-challenge-kit/

   I also got the chart kit, plus 33E (Florida Bay, large type). By the time you make it to Flamingo, everyone is a bit wonky and needs all the help they can get while “experiencing” the last leg.

   I have the chart kit plus Florida Bay, and Topspot, I prefer Topspot (for a kayak anyway).  More convienient to handle. My Topspot charts are backup for my twin GPS units, and I have only needed to "pull out the charts" twice in 7 ECs when I needed to improvise due to conditions.

   Top spot with extensive hand written notes for me but just as a backup to my Garmin Fenix watch with full GPS routing including hundreds of way points
