Log Book
Steve kept a log. Test runs on the St. Joe River in 1984 and 1985, then a decade of Saturdays on the lakes: put in after breakfast, come off the water in the afternoon, drive home with the hull on the roof. What follows is that log, as he wrote it.

Notes
No voyages are recorded for 1990. Entries are transcribed exactly as Steve wrote them. An asterisk marks a time that looks like a typo in the original, such as an evening hour where the morning was surely meant.
