The Average Cruiser

[Kindred Spirits]

I think a lot of cruising males have beards or mos. The women sometimes do too, but only if they have been unable to get to a beautician!!!!!

Pets are wonderful companions - especially small ones - but they do tie you down. We waited to go offshore until our little poodle died and after ten years bought another one, so no more long-term offshore cruising for us, for the time being, unless we can find a very very very good friend who also doesn't want to go offshore. I think we qualified with around 20 fits on the list.

Yes, but those aren't Alien Rays creeping beneath your foil hat, they're from the CIA satellites.

Now i know why i am not out there doing it. My boat's too small, my bank account's too small, not sure what else is too small. Hate electronics but i do have a dog or cat. Not sure which, but it has fur and licks.
PS. have a beard so there.

Coops.
