Your point is invalidated simply because you have to date not undertaken
such a venture.... and I mean a solid week of cruising without marina
resupply and shoreside evening meals.

Actually we did. Spent a week sailing Ghost last season and spent most of it
aboard. But I guess that not's not true "cruising."
Still waiting for the definition!

Define "most".... Bwahahahahahahahaaaa!

Sure, we went ashore for ice three times. Ghost had a so-so ice box. On the
Thimbles trip we only left the boat at Port Jeff to get replace the bread I
left behind. We tend to stay aboard, which is what the boat is for. In
Northport we checked out the town and Centerport Club, but everything we needed
was aboard. Still, I had no idea that going ashore meant you weren't cruising.
I think I'll come up with a definition based on your ideas soon!

RB

I'll take a crack at the definition, Nutsy:

Cruising is a many meaning term:
It can mean servicing on a Naval warship for a definite passage.
It can mean booking passage on a vessel with a Captain, Crew, Stewards,
Cooks etc for a fixed price;
Could mean doing a task in an easy manner (Cruising thru it)

As I said it is a very broad term and can be used in many, many ways.
The way it is being used in this discussion is to define a wanderer,
moving from place to place for a period of time without need of
external aid to survive in comfort and pleasure. A very loose feeling
of restrictive activity allowing the ability to do various things while
using a sailing craft.

So there; Mr Webster, Ole Thom as spoken; AND well you know!

Ole Thom

I just came back from the boat, need to take a shower and dress for
dinner at my son house. Dog and I are "Cruising!" Nothing fancy, loose
time frame with no time limit. (Another definition)

See youse guys

Sorry, mooron...but perhaps we should find out if Webster ever took a cruise
that fit's your parameters!

Bwahahahahaha!
