I keep two files. One is a folder in my desk with allof my receipts. The
other is a bound notebook kept on my boat. I make an entry in the
notebook - I refer to it as my log - every time I use the boat, noting the
date, hours, and activity. I also note any maintenance activity in the log.

We used to keep a log of our boating trips,
So how about you?

I keep two bound record books, 5 x 8, available at any office supply.
One for maintenance, the other as a trip log. Entries are hand-written
in ink, and the pages are bound.




I'm a lousy log keeper. I take the boat in for maintenance or repair as
scheduled or needed. I have an hour meter on my boat. I leave the receipts
on the counter and they eventually disappear. Would you really not buy my
boat if I couldn't show you records in my handwriting of maintenance and
repairs? Would my handwritten log suffice or would you have to have all
receipts on hand, as well?
