OK ... you've met someone - hooray! - and she/he has come along on your boat with you for a cruise.

What behavior would be a deal breaker, and lead you to drop him/her off at he next port?

Deal breaker? Really good question. Someone who refused to be bound by a boat's limited tankage and electricity. Someone who didn't do their share and look for what was left to be done. Someone who had never questioned her own motivations betraying a complete lack of autobiographical consciousness. And lastly here, any habitual user of hard drugs. Junkies will steal from anyone and everyone.

Deal breakers

Dishonesty
Lack of "presence', wanting to be somewhere else
Bad habits/substance abuse
Lack of respect for things, feelings, beliefs
Under-active libido

A good ratteling of the undercarage to determin if it's in tip top shape is always a good thing prior to the purchase.
OK that is sexy. You get a 10 for inuendos
