This multi-system software is designed to allow the tracking of several
important database functions for the bluewater vessel. Each system
performs in an identical fashion so learning the Full system becomes quite
an easy task.
All of the systems are designed to store (display and sort) data similar
to most all database software. The important difference with Shelter
Island Press software is that it has been designed specifically for quick
learning and ease of day-to-day operation. Let's look at each one
seperately...
FOOD INDEX
The Food Index is simply an alphabetized list of ALL the food items
on the boat. This index is used to keep a running inventory of foods
aboard the boat along with the storage location for the foods. Utilizing
this index you should be able to quickly generate shopping lists for
replenishing stocks and should be able to quickly FIND an item that would
otherwise be 'lost'.
MEAL INDEX
The Meal Index is an alphabetized list of all the possible meals for
which you choose to plan. This index is used to organize for extended
cruises. By assembling a number of complete meals and then purchasing
provisions for SEVERAL OF EACH TYPE you can adequately cost-out and
thoroughly plan for extended periods.
CHARTS INDEX
The Charts Index is a numerically sorted list of the charts you have
(or intend to purchase) aboard the boat. Full identification of the chart
is provided. A table of corrections (Local Notice to Mariners) is also
provided for EACH chart.
PASSAGE PLANNING
The Passage Planning index is probably the most 'fun' index to use. It
allows you to thoroughly plan a short trip or a world cruise. This index
is code-linked to the codes in World Cruising Routes (Cornell 1987)
therefore allowing quick access to the information pertinent to a specific
passage. This index is also quite useful in creating detailed 'float
plans'.
SUPPLIES INDEX
The Supplies Index is simply an alphabetized list of ALL the supplies
kept on the boat. This index is used to keep a running inventory of
supplies aboard the boat along with the storage location for each item.
Utilizing this index you should be able to quickly generate shopping lists
for replenishing stocks and should be able to quickly FIND an item that
would otherwise be 'lost'.
SPARE PART INDEX
Similarly the Spare part Index is simply an alphabetized list of ALL
the spare parts kept on the boat. This index is used to keep a running
inventory of spare parts aboard the boat along with the storage location
for each item. Utilizing this index you should be able to quickly
generate shopping lists for replenishing stocks and should be able to
quickly FIND an item that would otherwise be 'lost'.
REPAIRS & PROJECTS
This index allows you to thoroughly plan and prioritize all your
repairs and projects. This module also allows you to list and "check-off" all the necessary parts and supplies to accomplish the project.
MAINTENANCE TICKLER
This module acts as a reminder for all maintenance aboard. The index
quickly displays all maintenance items you have listed and allows you to
search for particular dates too (e.g. all maintenance due by the end of a
particular month!).
EQUIPMENT LOG
The Equipment log is simply a list of all the equipment you have on
the boat. Provision is made for you to enter all the necessary
information on each piece of equipment (along with a repair history).
SUMMARY
Each of these modules allow you to monitor a vital area of your vessel.
You will find additional information in the User Manual and in the Help
screens of each module.
