Log Template
A one-page deck log that takes ninety seconds to fill.
What it does
- Logs get abandoned when the fields are too many or too clever.
- The template keeps nine fields and a decision line.
- It is designed to be filled in with a pencil, wet.
How to use it
- Log at every significant change, not on a fixed clock.
- The decision line matters more than the position line.
- Fill the first entry before launch so the habit starts.
- Review the log within a day while the water is still memorable.
Safety notes
- A log is not a substitute for a float plan held ashore.
- An unlogged abort decision cannot be reviewed later.
