What should you enter in your log?
 

There are "Logs" and then there are "Logs". If you want to avoid
creating a single monster, you may want to create some separate logs to
cover certain areas .... crew list, equipment checks and maintenance
records, route plans with dates, etc., and keep your voyage log for nav
points, weather, course changes, watch changes, courses and speeds,
compass corrections, distances traveled.

Professional Captains often keep two logs. One for the
authorities and one for themselves. The one for the authorities
is keep short, concise and often does not reflect real life.

Who gives a damn? You sail a pathetic Coronado 27 that never goes anywhere!

Bwahahahaha!

I've also noticed he avoids any topic regarding navigation like the plague.
Maybe he uses the Line of Sight / By Golly-By Gosh method ??

For example, Shen44 or otnmbrd will, in restricted visibility,
enter into the log something like, "Slowed down to a safe speed
as required by the Rules due to thick fog," while in fact they
slowed down for about five minutes to pump the oil from
the bilges and to toss illegal garbage overboard and then
went back to full cruising speed.

Since a ships log is considered a legal document they NEVER
put any incriminating information in the 'official' log. Truck
drivers do this all the time, as well. DOT, like the Coast Guard,
can and will use a log against you.

| The 'log" that you are keeping is a navigation log only.

And pray tell me why.... in your rabid response did you think I wrote:

I thinking it was the drugs that are affecting your mental state... ???
