Ship's Log

[Captain Smollett]

Logs run the gambit from a true "Log Book" (dry, factual prose stating position, weather and boat/crew condition) to journals with stories and impressions.

I tend to keep more of a journal, though I try to include "log" type entries.  I try to record anything related to the boat, our journal or destination when we arrive, even if it only a 1 hour daysail.  As my daughter (and then my son) learns to write, I will get her a journal to keep her own, as well, just as the old Midshipmen during the Great Age of Sail were required to keep.

So, I'm curious:  what kind of log/journal do you keep?

I have two logs that I keep.  One is a journal type log, and much of what is written in that is later re-written and posted to my blog.  The other is a basic, factual, record book type journal.

I keep a log that includes weather, persons who went with me sailing, wind conditions and depth of water at the slip.  Somewhere I downloaded a logbook from some web page in the Pacific Northwest.  Can't remember where and I'll have to search for it on the hard drive.
