What do you think, Wilbur?
Would this one do?

Might make a good live-aboard-at-a-dock boat. This is the type of boat that
only a "Bruce in Bangkok" would love.

That particular Morgan will go to weather about as well as a haymow. It's
sad that anybody would buy a sailboat that doesn't really sail and has a
huge motor in a failed attempt to compensate. The interior is designed to
attract the distaff side in that it looks like and is equipped like an
apartment ashore.

Willie-boy, you really expose your lack of knowledge of the "Cruising"
world every time you post.

Now sit down and think how you would want your "Real Cruising" boat
equipped. Not the afternoon junket down the bay, or even the weekend
cruising. No, the real cruising life style - you sell the house, kiss
the kids good-bye and sail off.

That is the type of people in my world and once you depart from the
bounds of the afternoon cruise in the bay (and then you discover that
the winds aren't blowing you abandon that). I'm talking about, say a
"cruise" from Perth, Australia to Phuket, Thailand; maybe a nice trip
from Singapore to India (non stop), you know stuff like that? A little
late to abandon "afternoon cruise" when you are in the middle of the
Indian Ocean and the wind stops blowing.

I suspect that once you try to pack your dunnage onto a tiny little
boat like yours you might change your tune a little. Imagine -
everything you own on a peanut sized boat, no storage ashore, just you
and your boat.... and little is better?

No Willie-boy, you don't know a thing about real cruisers and you
demonstrate your ignorance in your every post. Jesus! Cheating Walmart
out of the price of a bottle of booze? A real cruiser!

Cheers,

Bruce

PKB! You don't even know what cruising is, apparently. You seem to confuse
voyaging and cruising.

So far, so good. . .

Those are voyages. Get a clue. I realize you are getting senile but try to
pay attention.

I have everything I desire aboard except perhaps for a JessicaB and that
would probably require a slightly larger boat of around 32 feet or so to
have space and comfort for two people and their things. But, as a
lone-hander 27 feet is plenty enough. I know because I live the cruising
life in perfect contentment with no desire for a larger boat.

What's with the bottle of booze myth! You are mixing me up with somebody
else. There's not even a Wal-Mart around here, for Pete's sake.

As I said before Willie-boy. the people who actually sail a boat
somewhere don't talk much about cruising or voyaging they usually just
saw "we went". When you start to differentiate between cruising and
voyaging you, first of all, are quoting something that Lynn Pardey
wrote and if you had read the Pardey's to any extent you'd realize
that Lynn, particularly, is hell bent on proving that they, THE
PARDEYS, are just do much better then anyone else. Thus THEY voyage
while the rest of us commoners just cruise.

But now that you have seized on Lynn's statement to justify your live
then be happy. You aren't a cruiser, or a voyager, as the term is
commonly used and your boating knowledge is from the books in your
"extensive library".

Cheers,

Bruce

You obviously know nothing about how living aboard away from a dock and
cruising when the fancy strikes without having to prepare for weeks or
months in advance is the very essence of cruising.
