Cruising in the way I think of it, is long trips across open ocean.


That is more correctly called "passage making", and *very* few people
actually do it to any great extent. I claim no special expertise but
find coastal cruising more interesting for the most part.


I have crossed the Atlantic twice, on big ships, Queen Mary II for
one. I saw exactly one boxboat.
