I'm having fun reading some logs of cruisers, and smooth sailing is
nice when well-described. You know, porpoises jumping around the
boat, the watermaker breaking down, dinghy stolen, finding a lot of
water in the bilge, diesel fuel leaking, watermaker breaking down,
halyard snapping, porpoises jumping around the boat.
Those porpoises are cute as hell.

Wonder how they taste.

About like eagle and manatee.

Some have said the the definition of cruising is "fixing things in
interesting places". Sounds about right to me, and yes, jumping
porpoises are always interesting.
