There are a lot of great reasons to keep your logbook on paper, but I've preferred an electronic version for my past several boats. We've waiting for a boat part, a good weather window, and the railroad bridge south of Norfolk to get fixed before heading south. With the time, I had a chance to cleanup our Excel-based ship's logbook for those interested in using it has a template. In my sailboat days I used a boater-specific application for logging, but I like using spreadsheets for customization and control of my data. My Excel workbook template contains worksheets for a Deck Log, Marina and Anchorage Log, Fuel Log, and Pumpout Log. I looked at several different templates before coming up with this one. I added formulas to add up summary info on each sheet, but you can modify for your own use if you are interested in checking it out. I've received feedback that it works fine in Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc as well.
