NOTE:
Please note the following if you have enabled automatic logging in the background (indicated by the blue frame in the app):

As a professional captain I have been using the app for the last 8 years both in the Mediterranean and across the oceans of the Pacific and Atlantic It has proved to be an extremely useful and accurate tool for record keeping of the passages and travels on board. The yacht owners are always very impressed with the detailed PDF log book l can give them This is such a great feature I have recommended this app to all my colleagues and will continue to do so.
