Log Book

I saw this question on another site. It was something that I was also wondering about. I would like to make up a binder with logsheets using Wordperfect or word or excel. You get the idea. I'd like to print out the sheets put them in the binder and use it for keeping a log on board during our cruise.

Does anyone have an example of a good format? Can anyone share a copy ?

Thanks,

Paul

I have fairly complete sheets I created in Word and put in a binder. They are based on a log I liked that a friend was using. PM me your e-mail address and I'll forward it over.

Here's another example for a more rigorous log rather than casual cruising.

I like Valiente's simple approach too.

Bermuda30 is on a distinguished road
I simply have a three-subject notebook I write in. Obvious stuff like date, conditions, ect. Also ideas for next time, better methods for conditions, stuff to try. Nothing fancy, just what I need to look back on.

Cam, theres no beer consumption colum in that Irish log
but nice anyway. i've just been a binder and notebook paper as well, because the more i try to organize myself, the more disorganized i become so my motto is...keep it simple.

There is no beer consumption column because they limited themselves to things they can ACTUALLY keep track of!! (G)
