Combine two logged trips into one
-
Last weekend, we sailed from my home harbor to Catalina Island, stayed overnight, and sailed back the next day.
These really should have been recorded as a single trip, but on the Logs page, they show up as two separate trips.
Is there a way to combine these two trips into one logged trip, which starts from my home harbor, has a 1 night stay at Catalina Island, and then returned to the home harbor?
I know it doesn't make much difference, but I'd prefer to log it as a single round trip instead of two one-way trips.

Hi Michael, trips cannot be currently combined. A stop for more than an hour marks the end of a trip. This logic was one of the early design goals and pretty engraved in everything from stays to statistics and summaries. We can backlog an item to create more flexibility around it but there are quite a few other things that we want to prioritize.

Hi Ilker,
Had an interesting experience today related to this.
A friend took my boat to Catalina Island, and just before entering the harbor at Isthmus Cove on Catalina, T-Mobile lost service. The service stayed offline until they got back to the slip, even though saillogger continued to log. (The modem sim card had to be "manually registered" to get it to connect back to T-Mobile).
After the logs were uploaded, there are two entries in the boat log:
- The round trip from Marina del Rey back to Marina del Rey
- The return trip from Isthmus Cove to Marina del Rey
In other words, the return trip was counted twice. So the "stop for more than an hour" didn't actually happen, because the boat lost service for that time.
I think that's what happened, anyway. Feel free to look at my logs if that would be interesting.

https://saillogger.com/log/020124 - roundtrip, departed 8/8/2024. Showing as arrived 8/8/2024 3:53:15pm but that was when the device lost service. If you look at the timelapse, you can see that the boat flies back to the home port.
https://saillogger.com/log/020125 - one way, departed 8/11/2024, arrived 8/11/2024 at 2:59:20pm. Note that this log was published to saillogger after the device was reconnected to the internet.
Also strange, on the 020125 log, note that the Speed Avg is 9.1 kts, but the Speed Max is 7.3 kts. 7.3 kts is correct for my boat, and the Average should never be higher than the max.
