THE best log book and we've tried several.  This is it for ease of use.

This one does not come up when you google boat logs.  However, they should put their product on the search because it is unlike the other bound books.  The cover of the log has a surface that doesn't absorb water, and it's spiral bound.  Note the side tabs for quick access.  I just put a label on the front for the date.



Another popular log is the Nouse Red log book.  It has a lot of good check lists on its pages to remind the captain to check all the areas.




It's great for as-you-go, but there is no fuel log or maintenance tabbed pages to check quickly when you buy fuel or want to see when you installed something, pump outs, boat fixes, etc.  The date in the Red book is on the lower right not at the top of the page so I write it in.

HURRAY  GOING SAILING

We sailed with Drew's, sister and brother, and nephew in Marblehead when they visited us after our nephew, Jason's wedding after Memorial Day weekend. 
 Gabe, Graham, me, Sara, and Drew.



It felt great to be back in Marblehead Harbor, see Marblehead Yacht Club, fall into our old routines, Shubie's Deli, Java House, etc.  There was little wind, but just nice to take them on a gentle outing. 

Note the glassy seas with little wind. 
The Harvey Gamidge, a training rig for sailors, has full sails but may have an engine on.



Sailing back into the harbor with a gentle south wind on the nose.  Note all the boats are facing the causeway at the end of the harbor.   A lot of mooring balls lie empty awaiting the boats to totally fill this harbor with over 1,000 boats.
Ciao,
Until we sail again.
