CR, I had thought about a 'puter log; however, on this voyage I want my kids to understand and appreciate "the old" ways and maybe show them that life exists outside a computer screen.(not that I am saying you have that problem... it is just part of growing up today).

They are going to sign on/off duty and have a set of chores and responsibilities while on watch. I may become less rigid in the routine later in the trip.
Looks like a DIY log may be the way to go but think it is a shame no company seems to make an item that was such an important part of maritime custom and tradition.
