Or grit your teeth and drill a hole through your hull like everyone else does. Not too sure why people suffer paranoia about through hull fittings. Tie a softwood tapered bung nearby and have a hammer on board (or use a winch handle!) if you are really worried about sinking. (You are MUCH more likely to sink through sudden grounding or being run down I suggest.
Millions of boats sail millions of miles with through hull logs...

I agree, but when you sail hundreds (or less)in a season then fouling is more of an issue, and trailing logs don't suffer from fouling - unless you count hauling in when it picks up a bit of bladderwrack.

Or do what we do and put the blank 'dummy log' in when we are not on the boat? You will have to sponge out the litre or two of water that comes in when you swap them over, but its no great hardship.
