After packing for bare boating I have not only clothing, but foul weather gear, charts, GPS, knives, a compass or two, safety gear, a sleeping bag and pillow, towels and wash cloth, toiletries, and of course a cooler and hip flask of 151 rum. Now I add a sextant and scopes, forms for reduction and plotting, almanac and backup HO229 tables. Whether the calculator pokes out the top of my shirt pocket is not of great concern to me or my mule.As a sidebar, the original Sony Walkman shown in a shirt pocket in advertising did NOT fit in a standard shirt pocket. The shirt was custom made with an oversize pocket so the unit would fit in. Maybe that's the answer, custom shirts ;-) Bill
