Agree.


For denizens here, cruising means sailing with no timetable, schedule
or destination.


A voyage is taking the boat from splash in to mooring. Then the
cruising can begin.


For those who cannot be sailing, I reccommend this You Tube sailing
kite camera

music is Enya, "Orinoco flow."


I love this!


Wow - that was AWESOME! I gotta get/make a kitecam. And the desc says it's
a Dana 24 - who says you need 50ft for open ocean? Looks like he's got it
dialed in pretty good...

To be fair, it looks like he's motorsailing, his engine is on in one
or two shots, but even so, a cool singlehander and kite.

The takeoff is great bit of editing, it looks like he launched the
kite from the beach and a boat at least a mile offshore. To edit out
two or three frames would make the lie jerky but almost plausible.
