There is plenty of room to use this as a journal for daily-weekly notes. Sounds crazy I know, but it allows me to combine two passions, running and the sea. There are daily tidbits about the sea, sailing and really a lot of useful information. This is an ecxellent calendar and journal. I have used these for years to track my running and fitness progress.
The men in my life love it and count on it every year. I have given this as gift every year and it's a homerun.
The written content is for the most part interesting. This day planner is totally in black and white. Nothing can match the beauty of boats under sail, but you won't find that here. For the price, I think photography and color should be included. There is no photography, just prints and drawings. The paper is thin.
My family have all been sailors and have always loved the traditions and lore of the sea. The illustrations are beautiful. This gets better each year. I've been giving this to my dad for the last seven years and he loves it. This book is never a disappointment and is full of tradition and nautical lore.
If you know a sailor, or someone who simply enjoys sailing lore & facts, this book is a treasure. And no matter how many years have passed, he enjoys each new book as much as the last. My husband, an avid sailor & builder of his own sailboat, asked one year after we were married for this book. It has become a tradition every Christmas to purchase the Book of Days.
