So how *do* you get a day sail when on a cruise?

[Searush]

Cruise in waters less well frequented- it is far more rewarding anyway. Get a twin keeler so you can anchor inshore of everyone else. Always have a plan 'B' - bottle of wine & fresh food aboard for self cooked meal in secluded anchorage tastes 10x better than any restaurant & avoids dodgy dinghy trip back after skin full of booze.

Anchor somewhere new every day, or go for a bus/ train ride ashore.

See, there are lots of different ways of dealing with or avoiding the problem.

Buy a lifting keeler and park on the beach!

Or sail a catamaran and park in a puddle /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Thanks everyone. I realize now that everyone has the same problem: that it is not just me being hard done by. That is some small comfort!
