Next message: Al Thomason: "Re: T&T: Logbooks"
Hi Larry -
Here is a hard bound book similar to, if not exactly the same as the deck
and engine log books I have seen and used on ships and other commercial
vessels:
Record S295-3R - Record ruled - 32 lines, 300 pages
WilsonJones
ACCO USA, Inc.
Wheeling, IL 60090
This book is 8.5" x 11" but I think they are available in larger sizes. I
bought two of these expensive books 10 years ago specifically because I knew
they'd be "legal," however I always found them difficult to write in and so I
use the "Evergreen Pacific Common Sense" spiral bound book because it lays
flat. It, too has numbered pages. Nowadays, as Mike M suggested, I'd think that
the information stored in your track log would suffice to prove where you
were and when. At any rate, I don't worry too much about it, and I only log the
date, miles, engine hours, fuel and water aboard, departure time and arrival
time unless something important happens. I also log when crew signs on and
off and when clearing Customs.
On ships, "rough" logs are kept in such books, the information contained
therein is transcribed daily into the "smooth" logs, engine and deck, by the
Chief Engineer and the Master, respectively. Each department also maintains a
"Bell Log" in which the time a bell is rung and answered is recorded. This
latter log has often been the bane of an engineer who failed to respond to a bell
in timely fashion when he was otherwise occupied and the ship was about to
collide (allide?) with something.

> How about some specs for log books for 40-60 ft commercial passenger
boats?
Or boats 40-60 ft in the coastal trade? Those boats are similar in size to
pleasure trawlers.
