Captain's Log

A Captain's Log is a formal record kept by the captain of a ship or spacecraft, documenting daily activities, observations, and significant events during a voyage. It serves as an important historical and navigational reference, detailing anything from weather conditions and course changes to crew activities and any incidents that occur. Captains use logs to communicate important information with their crew and other parties and to maintain accountability. In modern contexts, the concept has expanded into various fields, symbolizing a systematic documentation of experiences or project progress.
