I rarely pay for iPhone apps since there is almost always a decent free version for many things I am looking for but my husband was looking for an app to log our sailing, keep a to do list and a shopping list and be able to keep these in sync across devices. I have some shopping list apps as well as to do list apps but keeping all the boating things together was desired.

I found the Boating Suite app by Boating Cafe and it seems to do all that we were looking for and more so I sprung for the $4.99. In addition to the shopping list and to do list, it also has a maintenance log, log book, fuel log and expense log. It also lets you keep track of all the various boats you may own including tons of attributes for each like Battery info, towing service info, insurance info. You can also generate reports from things like fuel, expenses, maintenance.

It seems to work well for our needs and even syncs through icloud. So far my one complaint is that there is no way to check things off as you do them or buy them other than to delete them. I like to have a log of what we did or purchased without having to re-enter it in another place.

Thought you all might be interested in this.

Sue, thanks for the post. This is a nice app that has everything in one app. I dont keep track of gas expenses as its so minor but other stuff nice.
It would be great to be able to take pics however to add to the log and of expenses to show stuff before and after, etc. All in all, its a very nice app. I will wait for IPad version.

Aloha Piseas. I noticed your chairs on your transom and your bimini top. We are sailing our C25 SK from Galveston to Miami and wondering if you have made this or similar passages in your C25 and where we might be able to find the transom seats and bimini top for our C25. Thanks. Maui

Steve's boat PiSeas II is a Catalina 250. Not sure you can mount seats like those on a C25.
