This came up in another thread. Now the calculation we're interest in is hours cruised divided by days. Take all the engine hours in a year and divide that by the days cruised. A day cruised is any day you leave your home dock. It does count as a day cruised even if you return to where you started and you include the days anchored and in slips along the way.
Our calculation for 2015 was like this. By the definition above, we cruised 264 days in 2015. That doesn't mean we moved all those. About half of them we didn't move. We put 1007 hours on engines. So, 1007/264 is 3.8 hours per day. To us that was a reasonable pace based on the areas we cruised.
