What program(s) are you using to map out your summer boating destinations? I currently use an excel spreadsheet which has worked well, but only gives me locations and nothing else. Perhaps a good way to start designing a summer boating trip but it seems that I could then insert my trip into an on-line program for my laptop. Perhaps a program that would give nautical miles, locations can be modified easily, etc. But could also be used by a novice. :)
Please share what you are using that works well.
 
We just wander...
Our outings are usually 7 to 14 days at a shot. All of them on the hook. We just go wherever our curiosity takes us, but always keeping a close eye on the weather and and selecting a spot for anchoring carefully. We used to roam extensively when we were Land Cruisers in an rv. But when we realized how much we both love beaches and water, we decided to get a trawler. It's our favorite way to explore.
 
I don't spend much time on details, just enter a note into a log daily when I enter the engine hours to remind me should I read it again.
