Based on "Sitemeter" there are several poor souls out there who are unable to fight an aberrant compulsion (this assumes there are normal ones) to look at this nonsense or who, unknowingly, chance upon it by accident or who think they may actually enhance their own base of knowledge or understanding of the cruising lifestyle by so reading. Good luck with all that.

Due our ever-present concern, however, that a reader will be so horrified that occupants of this boat, lacking the cognitive tools to do so, are allowed to roam freely, unsupervised and may consequently inform "competent" authority and have said occupants confronted by burly men in white coats who will confine them to a pleasant and possibly padded environment, a restatement of the purpose for this blog may be in order.

This disclaimer was included in the 25 January 2009 edition and remains essentially true to this very moment, to wit: "While I will be delighted if anyone else enjoys these excursions into blogospheric silliness, the primary purpose is personal amusement. This is not travelogue, cruising guide or philosophical exploration of anything in particular, merely random musing of a slightly twisted mind. Despite what, to most sane, rational readers, is obtuse verbiage and obscure references, I am often aware of what I mean and occasionally enjoy a chuckle."

In addition, despite above statement and although the author renounces all culpability for misleading anybody about anything, all assertions, data and references, except those obviously fanciful, are true to my best knowledge and research. Corrections are welcome and solicited. All expressed opinions should be skeptically examined for irony and satire or understood to be due to mental warpage and pathological Peterpanism. If anyone perceives from reading any of this malarkey that cruising is the most enjoyable and satisfying lifestyle this side of Alpha Canis Majoris, he should either immediately undergo psychiatric evaluation and therapy to be re-educated and re-assimilated or sell everything and buy a boat.
