It's too easy a leap to go from those not declaring moorings and therefore 'deemed' to be continuous cruisers, to those who actually DO cruise (or moor) continously. There are various reasons why some might not declare moorings and you'd certainly learn more from a survey.
But what about that other group of people? The group that declare moorings yet continuously cruise? How could you number them? Steve [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
