I'd be slightly more charitable and call it a "shake down cruise".

It took us about a year of short cruises to work the bugs out of our
boat and have the confidence to take off and live on it for any length
of time. At least there are good service locations most places along
the east coast.


I was referring to Skip's quote that "cruising is repairing boats in exotic
locations." By that definition and his being in the ICW, it's not
cruising.
