How do we choose to remember any variety of events? General comments and impressions, likes, dislikes, "feelings"??
Data only, the hell with any friggin' emotions, it's about science and numbers?
Somewhere in between? I do take my paper log on the boats. It's 19 years old and I write it on the way in to the dock. I can tell how rough the seas were by my handwriting as we pounded through the waves, and rolled our way through the inlet.
What I get besides the "usual", are boat, crew and DM names, how much weight worked, or didn't work, what I breathed, tank size type, and mix, what I wore and was it enough to stay warm, what impressed me underwater, insta-buddy's contact info and signature, And "feelings" too, general impressions of a place, a boat, a shop, a town.
These are a good reference when I return to a shop and boat after a couple of years. And sometimes just interesting to read through.
Provided, of couse that I can read my handwriting from the 5-foot seas inbound ;-)
