Who here actually keep up to date sail logs?

To get your Coast Guard license you need to document 360 days total and 90 days at (venue of choice) over the past three years....logbook is essential to document that!

I believe (US only) that 4 hours counts as a "day".

My sail log is drawing a little sailboat on the calendar each day I'm in the water. Each year I tell myself "Next year I'll keep a proper sail log" I start sailing in mid-April and my last day is early to mid-October. This year I was out on the water 41 times, a few more days than usual. This was my 5th season with the boat. For any new owners try to keep a sail log. I regret not doing so. Although I do have quite a few pictures it would be nice to have a written record about each day on the water. Oh, and by the way, NEXT YEAR I'LL KEEP A PROPER SAIL LOG ....no seriously

$6 for the iPad. Seems to have everything I could think of for a log book app. Same author also has a free app in the iTunes store for the iPhone.

That looks like a pretty cool app, maybe I should swipe my wife's ipad.. The free iphone app looks like a game though, not the logbook app. Looks like there is one for 5 bucks but its hard to say if it has the same functionality as the ipad app. There is also a free charting app for ipad which might be good.

Stephen, what is the benefit of getting the coast guard license? I keep all my GPS logs so I could probably use that to prove time out sailing.

The basic CG Captain license or so-called "six=pack" actually lets you carry passengers for hire...Colonel (ret.) King knows much, much more about this than me, though..
