Hi @jaredko , we can not reproduce it. Is it happening for all timelapses? Is is it with the new or old UI or both? I am wondering if it has something to do with graphics acceleration on the computer, but multiple laptops eliminate that possibility.
Can you send a link that is broken for you?
Glad to hear that @upstart , thank you for the feedback!
Also note that you can print a logbook from the Journal (https://saillogger.com/app/journal), but nothing beats a customized output delivered taiiored to your specifics!
Thank you for the suggestion @seeu , we have noted it. There is some work pending for the track, and we will see how this aligns to that.
Get a notification when a friend's boat leaves and when she arrives, and give your family ashore an easy way to follow yours. The AIS Fleet app is now on the App Store, free for iPhone and iPad.
Here is what it does:
Know when a boat you follow leaves and arrives
Follow a boat, turn on notifications in the app, and her departures and arrivals reach you. They come without a sound and wait in Notification Center.
Let family ashore follow your boat
Keep your logbook with Saillogger? Once an AIS receiver has heard your boat, family and friends can follow her in the app by her MMSI, with no boat or Saillogger account of their own. Your Saillogger sharing settings decide whether they also read your journal and see the passage you are on. With the AIS Fleet switch on under Settings > Integrations in Saillogger, your boat keeps moving on their map whenever you have internet aboard, even where no AIS receiver can hear her.
See the traffic around your anchorage
Aboard, the app connects to your AIS receiver over the boat's Wi-Fi and, while the app is on screen, draws the boats it hears within seconds. What it hears also joins the AIS Fleet network, extending coverage where no shore station reaches, and you can pause that sharing.
Earn Plus or Pro with your photos
In one calendar month, use AIS Fleet to photograph three boats you have not photographed with it before. Once the photos are published, you hold Plus for the following month. Ten boats earn Pro. How it counts
The app needs iOS 17 or later and uses the same account as aisfleet.com, so your follows, lists, fleets and messages are waiting when you sign in. Watching the map is free, following up to five boats is free, and the free plan does not expire. Plus and Pro are available in the app. On Android or a computer, use aisfleet.com in the browser.
Joined the open beta earlier this month? Thank you for trying it. Please install AIS Fleet from the App Store now, because the TestFlight build stops opening when it expires. New since the beta: push notifications, lists, and photos that earn Plus or Pro.
Download AIS Fleet from the App Store

Fair winds and following seas!
The Saillogger Team
Thank you for the specific report, it found a real problem. ChatGPT keeps the list of tools from when the Saillogger app was added, and it caps the size of that list; the two new reads pushed ours just over the cap, so ChatGPT kept your old list even after you reconnected. This a ChatGPT specific limitation, other agents don't exhibit that but there were options on our end so that is fixed on our side now.
To pick up the new tools, open ChatGPT’s Settings > Apps > Saillogger and press Refresh, then start a new conversation. Reconnecting alone does not update the list. You should then see “Trip readings, fix by fix” (get_trip_samples) and “Sailing readings across trips” (list_sailing_samples). For trips 52048 and 52059, each row carries time, latitude, longitude, SOG, COG, apparent wind speed and angle and whether an engine was running; engine RPM comes along if you ask for it by name.
This appears to be a stale toolset issue. The connector was updated on September 20 with two new reads: “Trip readings, fix by fix” (get_trip_samples), every fix of one trip, and “Sailing readings across trips” (list_sailing_samples), the engine-off fixes across a period, for exactly this kind of work. Each row carries time, latitude, longitude, SOG, COG, apparent wind speed and angle, and whether an engine was running. Engine RPM and any other reading the boat reports (depth, pressure, your own sensors) can be requested by name.
Your assistant’s summary matches the older tool set, so its list of tools is probably from before the update. Disconnecting and reconnecting the Saillogger connector, then starting a new chat, refreshes it. You can also ask directly: “Use get_trip_samples for the trip on September 20 and give me the rows as CSV.”
It is actually there since this morning! Tell your AI agent to use Saillogger MCP at https://saillogger.com/mcp and it should have everything ready to go.
In my previous tracks, every time I touched the track, apparent wind speed, apparent wind direction, boat speed and compass bow appeared.
Ah yes, the clicks on the route is on the to-do list
As soon as you announced the AI ​​integration, I immediately made the connection: I thought that if the AI ​​could read a table of data for each leg—containing metrics like AWS, AWA, and STW—it could easily generate a polar diagram for me. What do you think?
This is a good idea, and it’s live now. A connected assistant can read every position fix of a trip, or of a whole season, with speed and course over ground, apparent wind speed and angle, and whether the engine was running. So you can ask it for a polar diagram, or for your boat speed in a given wind band, and it has the numbers to work from.
Two things to know about the data. Speed through water isn’t recorded by default, so any true-wind or polar calculation is ground-referenced (current included); if your setup sends STW as a custom monitoring value, the assistant can read that too. And each fix carries the highest speed and wind speed of the minute before it, so the result will read a little optimistic. A rough polar, but a real one, from your own logbook!
If you try it, I’d like to hear how it goes.
Hi @Andrea they are there, here is a screenshot from one of our trips. Do you mean something else?
We just wanted to let the community know and extend a big thanks to Ray and Holly of SV Sabado for publishing a comprehensive review of Saillogger on their blog. Titled "The Logbook That Writes Itself", Ray and Holly even reminded us some of the features we developed but almost forgotten!
Check it out!
