Ship's Log

MyShipLog is a free online ship's log. It allows you to record everything from sailing logs to fishing logs with six different log types including nautical, fishing, fuel, maintenance, inventory, and crew.

You can also add friends and family to your boat as crew members which allows them to share your boat's logbook. As an owner of a boat, you have complete control over what type of log each crew member can read from and write to.

All this documentation is a valuable resource for boat owners, including future owners of your boat. With a MyShipLog account you can transfer all your logs to the new owner of your boat when it is time to finally sell her, while still keeping an archived version for your records and enjoyment.
