Here's to Donal!
How many hours of contrary current,etc other bull ****
Who the hell cares? Is each time a pleasure sail is made is it really
necessary to log every fart, every tack made, every change in wind
speed, every tide change?
I don't do that kind of log keeping. I'm wondering just how many of this
group really makes a log entry and completion of every afternoons sail
around the Bay? I DON'T. I don't really keep a running log of a simple
overnite in my immediate sailing area. I enjoy sailing! I hate paper
work! Keeping a running log is dumb paper work. If you like doing it,
then by all means do it. I think of all the millions of useless logs
recorded on private recreational boats is something that is over done.
I'm not a good log keeper. My log has more entries this season with less
sailing than I can ever remember. I logged the date of the new bottom,
the new main and the changes made because of it. Even at that I'm not
sure I haven't over done it? My filed copies of the paid bills are more
necessary than the log.
You pencil pushers enjoy your log duties. Don't expect to see a history
of each sail I've taken. You won't find it.
Right or wrong, that's the thrufffff and:
