This is kind of interesting and leads to another question. What is a
`cruiser`. Several years ago my husband and I were introduced to a
couple about 2 years after we had sold the house and gone sailing. When
asked if we were cruisers, the woman introducing us cut in and said
´no, they still work´.

Lin Pardy´s response to this was ´Larry and I still work too...´.

My definition of cruiser is someone who actually gets the boat away from
the marina/anchorage overnight. Anything less is a day sail.

I've seen some who sailed to a location then just lived aboard, the boat
not moving. LOVELY location, but they weren't cruisers then, "just"
liveaboards.

Working is a separate issue.
