Re: Stus-List Economic justification for owning a boat
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.

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.

Re: Stus-List Economic justification for owning a boat
Barking mad? Perhaps. My boat sometimes has a bad case of barking spiders. Noticed they're particularly noisy after a good bowl of chili or a bratwurst and sauerkraut.
