Big boating day today...packed a picnic lunch, went to the boat, Bay looked pretty snotty from several look-sees from the roads getting to the marina, so we ate lunch tied up at the marina. Ah, well. I guess it counts as an entry in the log book. Seriously? Don't you think an entry in the log book would require replacing something, flushing something out, installing something or at least starting the engines? Does lunch really count? Well, I did adjust a fender... Hey, it's *my* log book and I'll put in it what I want! :) Hummmm, wouldn't make an entry for that even if it was fun... Actually, I think it is reasonable to make a log entry every time you visit your boat in the water at a marina, even if it is just to note that "everything is nominal." I check the bilge, the lines, the dock, et cetera. If something happens when I'm not around, I at least can pin down the dates. We do the same with the house when we're away. We have someone come by every day to check on the cats and to check the doors and windows. She sends me a text message every day. If something is amiss, we'll know approximately when it happened, and that can be helpful. We return that favor for her. |
