The standard, well-known, and universally accepted definition of
cruising is to fix your boat in exotic locations.

Eh, to OWN a boat is to be fixing it, location doesn't make a
difference.

True, but cruising is fixing it in places other than the home port.

And probably one of the items that I left out of my list is paying
outrageous sums of money to have parts shipped into your exotic
location.

Heh... I watched that happen in the Med., which wasn't really *that*
exotic. Fortunately, I wasn't the one paying.


The degree of exoticness is directly proportional to the amount that the
shipping company charges to get a package there! :-) I unfortunately have
several stories where the cost of the shipping/duty/taxi exceeds the cost
of the item by several multiples.
