It seems so obvious, yet, for most, cruising is a long held dream. One that brooks no interference, nor roadblocks, to making it a reality. And so, many, just as myself, head out alone, without realizing they have overlooked the one thing that makes the voyage, not only easier, but fuller, in a way no amount of gadgets and preperation can. That the quiet companionship of a meal aboard, in that serene anchorage you stumbled upon, can never be replaced by the noisy clamor of yet another TIki Bar, or touristy Cafe. That there's no substitute for sharing goofy grins at the end of a long and ardorous day, that come from working together, to make it through.
It isn't about having someone else to take the helm, or be a galley slave. It's not about having another pair of hands whle docking or anchoring, or another pair of eyes to pick out those markers. And, it isn't even really about having someone to snuggle up to at night. As helpful, practical, and desirable as those are, it's the sharing and companionship that come from two persons working in rhythm and harmony to conclude another successful passage, that make it the most important part of the voyage.
We all need our moments of solitude, and I can't think of much that is easier to undertake alone, than cruising. But before you head out there solo, don't forget, cruisng really is for couples, or you miss out on the best part of it.

Kissing before was simply a nice, warm, enjoyable, physical sensation, even when I thought I was in love with the person. But if he's gotten my mind involved, now it's enough to knock every coherent thought out of it ;)
