Uses an everyday familiar notebook model, allowing you to use the mouse to simply point and click your way through several notebooks.
Comprehensive database searches are included in the system as well. Imagine getting a list of every fish that you caught in November, when the tide was going out, the air temperature was 87 degrees, the water temperature was 76 degrees, the barometer was rising, the wind was blowing out of the East at 5 knots, the seas were 1-2 feet, and you were bottom fishing using cigar minnows as bait. Well, you can with this system. You can also perform similar searches against most maintenance logs, and directories as well.
You can record all of the details about your trips, including all of the waypoints you visited, a complete breakdown of trip expenses, who went with you, what fish they caught, who caught the largest fish, and much, much, more.
You can record every fish that was caught, who caught it, where it was caught, how big it was, what the weather conditions were at the time, what the sea conditions were at the time, etc. Or, you can simply summarize what was caught by waypoint.
You can print detailed reports in any of the three different notebook hardcopy size options; 3 X 6 , 5 X 8 , or standard 8 X 11. Great for taking with you when you take off on that big fishing or cruising trip.
You can also print empty data entry forms to use when your P.C. is not available. Simply fill them out whenever an event happens: catching a fish, discovering a new fishing spot, etc. When you return to your home port, simply record the data with The Boating Companion for Windows, and that is all there is to it.
