I'm not going to touch the posts in which this came up with a boathook but

Humm, Well........ I can start by saying what Cruising is NOT. Its not
fixing a boat in diffrent places.

For me crusing is a walk to the market place just before it closes and
picking up some local near spoiled fruit for near nothing cause it
wont last till the next market day and the old lady knows it and is
willing to sell it cheep.

And sometimes it is. That sort of thing happens, even to well
maintained boats, and you just make the best of it when it does.
Spare parts, a good set of tools and lots of contingency plans are
your friend.
