Pouring over bookstore shelves for an appropriate Log Book can be an exercise in real frustration. Some are little more than a guest registry – fine for a hotel or B&B but not a boat. Others contain information you don't want or need while leaving out things you really do want. Bound books give you no opportunity to easily add in sections that you want to include.

Scouring the internet for information can be fun but time-consuming if you are looking for something specific. You may not have the time to research all the various websites and, once information is found, you may not be able to get it in a format that is useful to you.

This Log Book was born in part of my own frustration with this search. If you are a cruising sailor or just planning to get started, this Log Book was created to help you by giving you a practical tool you can use immediately.
