What is a Passage and How Do I Create One?

A Passage in KnotWise represents one complete leg of a voyage — from departure port to destination. All log entries are organised within passages, giving your logbook a clear and navigable structure.

Passage vs. Log Entry

	Passage	Log Entry
What it is	One voyage leg	One point-in-time record
Example	Las Palmas → Barbados	Position at 14:00 UTC
Contains	Multiple log entries	Weather, position, sails, crew, notes

Creating a passage

Navigate to Passages & Logbook in the left sidebar.
Click "+ New Passage".
Enter the departure and destination locations, and the planned departure date.
Save — your passage is now active and ready to receive log entries.

Closing a passage

Once you have arrived, open the passage and mark it as completed. KnotWise will calculate total distance sailed, duration and average speed automatically from your log entries.
