Cruising is about enjoying where you are. There are lots of nice
places to stop and see, but if you're sailing (motoring) by on the
outside, you'll never know what you missed.

I was going to nastily pan the earlier part of his post, but Geoff then
said the above, which pretty much is the cruiser's creed.

My lady and I are currently pretty much "weekenders" depending on my
current vocation, but have learned to enjoy whereever we find ourselves
each night. That we typically spend 33% or more of our sailing year
away from our marina puts us into most all definitions of "cruiser".

But if you enjoy where you are "that" moment, you're cruisers in my book.
