[Rhodes22-list] Palm Pilot Ship's Log

[Mary Lou Troy]

Herb,
We keep a printed log where I record (sometimes) all kinds of trivia and 
detail.

I have an intro page with info about the boat including registrations # and 
HIN, various contact numbers, makes and model # of various equipment. 
There's a maintenance log, a fuel consumption log and then the daily log.

The daily log has room to record predicted tides, forecasts, weather 
observations, contacts, guests and notes in addition to the trip log which 
includes time, who's at the helm, position, wind speed & direction, sea 
state, visibility/observed conditions, magnetic course/GPS track, speed and 
comments. There's also space for end of day comments, total hours, hours 
sailing, distance travelled and a checkbox for whether we spent the night 
on the boat.

I'd be interested to hear your final list.
