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.

So stuff on your boat never breaks or wears out, never needs maintenance? Sounds idyllic.



Well, the boom broke and we got a detailed lesson of how to fix it
using PVC water pipe, (rather reminiscent of Skip, except that Skip
doesn't try to impress us with his expertise) and the explanation of
how he fixed his fridge with the sticky tape, and it hasn't failed
yet, I don't remember any other recent stories.... Of course if one
doesn't sail then one doesn't break.

it like saying, a successfull
marrage is 50 years of hurtful cruelty and lonleness only folowed by
death!

It's nothing like and you know it.

Justin.
