Most creature comforts are only good while you're in port. Most cruisers travel from port to port except for folks like Chichester. You really don't know much about cruising. BB Dayhopping down the coast doesn't count. Sez who? That's what most cruising consists of. Try sailing to a decent destination and see how much use you get from your fancy interior on the way. Do you live in a cave when on land? Just how stupid are you? It doesn't matter where I am. I always prefer to have comfortable accomodations. Two, three, or 6 days at sea will soon convince you that real sailors have little use for traditional creature comforts. You are quite the moron. Real sailors don't measure themselves by how uncomfortable they are. They measure themselves by how much they are enjoying themselves. Maybe you are so feeble that you need an uncomfortable nights sleep to feel like you are facing a big challenge of some sort. It sounds a bit like you haven't slept while underway. If a boat tacks while you are unsecured, and asleep, it can be bloody uncomfortable. However, there is a lot of truth on both sides of the argument in this thread. Elanor Tims (or Timms??), recently told us that her boat sunk by 6" after she got it prepared for an extended cruise. My boat sinks by about an inch when we prepare for our 2 week summer cruises. Regards Donal -- I'm starting to gather that you don't sail outside a protected bay somewhere in a pram. BB |
