The Debate

摘要

In the online readers poll regarding the 'Debate' column on whether continuous cruisers should they pay more (December WW), I was faced with a simple 'yes' or 'no' on the issue. Given no other options, I voted 'yes', but rt seems to me, and most of those boaters that I've talkedrnto, that there are two key areas of contention.rnAs David Pearce clearly points out, the problem is more one of 'continuous moorers'. We all have our favourite mooring spots, and usually that involves a pleasant view, be it architecturally in an urban area, or scenically in the country. It is galling, to say the least, when that view is continually taken. Whilst not in all cases will that involve those fallingrninto the category of 'continuous cruisers', it is true in perhaps 90% of cases. Moving on towards the end of a 14-day period does not substantially alter this perception.
