T&T: Definition of "coastal cruising" (Eastern edge)

[Jim Ague]

> Does coastal cruising mean ICW marina hopping?

I think it means anchorage hopping, especially from Georgia to Maryland, 
haven't tried Maine yet.

Especially on a cool breezy evening to fill Derreen with freshness and with 
just enough wind to swing at anchor, but not enough to worry about the 
anchor.

To watch the birds at work and the fish at play.

To watch the sun set over the canopy of trees, or the distant shore, or the 
marshlands.

To have a homecooked meal made in the galley during the day, to be enjoyed 
in the evening with a glass of wine, just the two of you.

To watch the anchor lights come on, and look like low lying stars.

To sleep in a rocking cradle, to awake the next day wondering what lies 
ahead.
