A Logbook For Your Boat


One of the really neat things that you can do is to create a Logbook for your boat to record a history of your sailing experiences.  If you take photos while sailing, it is easy to insert the photos into the logbook at the end of the season (or right after you take the photos).  Below is a copy of the Logbook that I keep aboard Snickerdoodle.  2015 will be Kathy and my 31st year aboard... and we can look back at logbooks from year 1 and remember the neat adventures that we have had over the years.
