This review is from: The Mariner's Book of Days (Calendar)
This is a lovely way to keep track of your appoinments while also enjoying fascinating bits of maritime history and other often little known nautical facts. There is enough space to keep a short diary entry for each day.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a must for the nautical person with a love of the sea,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mariners Book of Days for 1997 (Stationery)
This is the best publication I have encountered regarding the traditions of the sea, folklore and useful hints for the sailor. Such tradition and customs must not be left to fade away. I read the '98 issue in one sitting and immediately purchased the '99 release. I highly recommend this book to those that love the traditions of the sea and confirmation of facts in the marine realm
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent as a journal,
By
This review is from: Mariner's Book of Days 2009 (Spiral-bound)
This is an ecxellent calendar and journal. I have used these for years to track my running and fitness progress. Sounds crazy I know, but it allows me to combine two passions, running and the sea. There is plenty of room to use this as a journal for daily-weekly notes. There are daily tidbits about the sea, sailing and really a lot of useful information.
