logbook
Captain's daily record
A logbook is a record of events, observations, or activities kept in chronological order.
Ship captains maintain logbooks documenting voyages—weather, position, incidents.
The term extends to any systematic record: a pilot's logbook of flight hours, a truck driver's logbook of miles and rest stops, a scientist's logbook of experiments.
Check the logbook to see who signed in last.
