Most cruisers travel from port to port except for folks like Chichester.

Dayhopping down the coast doesn't count.
Sez who? That's what most cruising consists of.
Try sailing to a decent destination and see how much use you get from
your fancy interior on the way.
Do you live in a cave when on land? Just how stupid are you? It doesn't
matter
where I am. I always prefer to have comfortable accomodations.
Two, three, or 6 days at sea will soon convince you that real sailors
have little use for traditional creature comforts.
You are quite the moron. Real sailors don't measure themselves by how
uncomfortable they are. They measure themselves by how much they are
enjoying
themselves. Maybe you are so feeble that you need an uncomfortable nights
sleep
to feel like you are facing a big challenge of some sort.
It sounds a bit like you haven't slept while underway. If a boat tacks
while you are unsecured, and asleep, it can be bloody uncomfortable.
However, there is a lot of truth on both sides of the argument in this
thread. Elanor Tims (or Timms??), recently told us that her boat sunk by
6" after she got it prepared for an extended cruise. My boat sinks by
about an inch when we prepare for our 2 week summer cruises.

a pram.
