Just out of curiosity, do you post your reviews in rec.boats.cruising?

No. That's primarily a sailing group.

sail·ing

noun 1. the activity of a person or thing that sails.
2. the departure of a ship from port: The cruise line offers sailings
every other day.
3. Navigation. any of various methods for determining courses and
distances by means of charts or with reference to longitudes and
latitudes, rhumb lines, great circles, etc.

I'm not a sailor.

sail.or

noun 1. a person whose occupation is sailing or navigation; mariner.
2. a seaman below the rank of officer.
3. a naval enlistee.
4. a person adept at sailing, esp. with reference to freedom from
seasickness.

Hmmmm - t'would seem to me that you fit the definition of sailing and
sailor perfectly.

However, even if there are folks who use sail boats in cruising, your
whole focus is cruising rather than boats in general - thus it would be
more appropriate for you to, well, haunt rec.boats.cruising.

I mean, you earn your money editing a magazine which primarily is for
cruisers - it would seem to me that you would want to involve yourself
in a newsgroup SPECIFICALLY for cruising and those who participate in
that aspect of boating rather than a GENERAL newsgroup that relates to
boats in general and not CRUISING in particular. :)
