My pleasure, William.

[@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar]

Thanks for this as I want to know how to do it properly. My logs have been in diary format. During the trip I have a notebook for the hourly checks, sog, wind, depth, position weather conditions and then if anything interesting happened ie marine life sighted. This is transferred to the log diary in port.

My pleasure. It's all about building a picture and recording a story. That way, you, or anyone else, can identify trends or retrace a voyage.
