I'm sorry, but if you included a long list of what "cruising is" in your
harangue of Skip, I missed it. Could you repost it?

Shure..........

We just bought a new boat and we plan to do some cruising, but I sure
wouldn't want to break any of your rules when we do.
So, please list your rules in order of importance.

Going from point A to point B without creating a potential hazard or
harm to self or others.

Spending money and wasting time in port fixing things is not
cruising.
that saying about fixing things in distant ports is a joke you
idiots,,,, its not a way of life..... it like saying, a successfull
marrage is 50 years of hurtful cruelty and lonleness only folowed by
death! Nor is cruising operating a vessel in a way that creates a
hazard to others (as in: no body at watch while underway)


From those posts of Skip's I've read, my take is that he had a somewhat
limited knowledge of boating when he started, that he has been
"cruising" and rebuilding much of his old boat along the way, that he is
a far more experienced "boater/cruiser" than when he started and, unlike
most of the posters here, is out on the seas, "cruising" from one port
to another without a particular schedule.

wordy sentence verging on archaic voce, and, certainly, an over use of
the comma.
I thoght id toss that in in for free since you seem so willing to un
zip ur pants for a short arm inspection.

Now, as I stated, we bought a new boat and we will be taking short trips
on it. So, I take it we won't actually be "cruising," right?

Hell ya yll be crusing...... cause you have an accurate assesment of
your behavior.
Crusing is like culture its not the color of your skin its HOW YOU
THINK.

PS I think I may have ya beat on degrees But then again we could
start a great fight does a degree make ya smart or does it only
offer an opertunity to learn.... kinda like a boat

Time to go drink some free beer and look at some boats.
Maybe I could be like skip and write a 3000 word post on what i did at
the bar, explain how a "tap" works, and then fall off my bar stool
explaing to the world about my beer drinking. NOw that would be a
great read.






Lots of people have me "beat" on degrees. I have two liberal arts
degrees. I was not interested in learning a "trade" while in college.
