Ship's Log

    MyShipLog is a free online ship's log. It allows you to record everything from sailing logs to fishing logs with six different log types including nautical, fishing, fuel, maintenance, inventory, and crew.

    You can also add friends and family to your boat as crew members which allows them to share your boat's logbook. As an owner of a boat, you have complete control over what type of log each crew member can read from and write to.

    All this documentation is a valuable resource for boat owners, including future owners of your boat. With a MyShipLog account you can transfer all your logs to the new owner of your boat when it is time to finally sell her, while still keeping an archived version for your records and enjoyment.

Comments: Crew has been briefed on M.O.B. Drill, when launched drill will be the day of launch, so will trial testing of tuned engine. All radios, horns (including each fog horn setting, anchor, adrift, aground), also will be testing all PFD's, this will lead to a vessel safety check, and USCG inspection. Need to have first aid kits checked, all fire gear checked, alarms, all bilge alarms need to be manually pulled to set them off. Then we are clear to go. Training will also be on that day for new crew members. ALL Crew please make sure you have a logging account here, we will be using this log to stor our paper logs, Make sure you know how to log, also KNOW WHERE THE LOG BOOK IS KEPT ON THE BOAT!!!
Thanks,
Capt. SSE
