Logbook

"Keeping the ship’s papers and records is the responsibility of the yeoman. Minutes of ship and quarterdeck meetings, membership rosters, rosters of the ship’s officers and adult leaders, records of attendance, advancement, etc., will provide a historical record of the ship. The ship logbook is a place to keep photographs, clippings, and program souvenirs, and notes on outstanding achievements by the members of the ship. When new members join the ship, they can sign the logbook during the admission ceremony." - Sea Scout Manual

Cruise Log

"Every time you go out on the water with your ship, you have an opportunity to record information that is useful, and you can document the highlights of the cruise. Many ships have developed their own cruise log format, and you will find that most logs begin by recording the date, prevailing weather conditions, wind direction and speed, persons aboard, departure location and time, and arrival location and time. Observations such as the difficulty in lining up landmarks when entering a new harbor or the time it takes to get from one point to another against an incoming tide are instructional and helpful when planning a future cruise. Capturing events such as a hat or the Skipper’s sandwich going overboard are especially fun for later reflection" - Sea Scout Manual
