Saw this on the Bitter End FB page:

This brought a smile:

"4. If the only way you imagine traveling between beautiful locations is faster than half the speed of sound, cruising on a sailboat is not for you. All is not lost. Maybe consider cruising on a powerboat."​

10. If the thought of tracking down the source of at least 5 different leaks in your house every time it rains sounds absurd to you, cruising may not be for you.

11. If the idea of your entire life revolving around the weather makes you roll your eyes, you are not ready for the cruising lifestyle.

12. If the idea of drinking a tall glass of water that was seawater only 5 minutes earlier makes you throw up in your mouth, you've got a long way to go before cruising.

13. If going to the grocery store needs to take less than 3 or 4 hours and not involve you getting wet along the way, you may need to rethink this whole cruising idea.
