We do both, sail and cruise. Sailing has it's great moments, and it's lesser
ones too. Cruising is different; it is nice to be pampered, no cooking, no
making up beds, fresh towels, being served at the table, quite good food and
dancing. (I do NOT go on Carnival!) But you are limited by the schedule. We
normally make our own arrangements in port, so we keep some individualism. And
there are destinations that are not easily reached with a C&C, such as Cape
Horn and the 'near by' Antarctic islands. Even on the deck of a cruise ship
the 40-50 knot wind is impressive and the albatrosses are magnificent.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Economic justification for owning a boat
You wake up, quietly get in the dinghy with the dogs, push off and drift 50
feet away before starting the outboard, and head to shore. The dogs pee while
you get the morning paper and some coffee from the coffee shop. Heading back
out to the mooring field with the morning sun flooding the anchorage with an
orange glow you gently climb back aboard to surprise your still sleeping wife
with the treats from shore and think you wouldn’t be anywhere else for ANY
amount of money. Or the sane people realize they could go on a cruise ship or
other expensive vacation two or three times a year for what it costs to run the
boat. So we the not-quite-right sail on and the sheeple get herded here and
there on the latest discount tour to some tourist hell.
