The law is vaguely written, I believe deliberately, to allow for a variety of cruising styles.
While there is a requirement to move from place to place (refer to Act for exact wording) every 14 days, there is also a requirement that the boat is used for navigation throughout the licence period.
A narrow interpretation might be that one can engage only in navigation-related activities, for example it would be reasonable to stop for a day or two to service the engine, or attend to another maintenance task. It might also be reasonable that alongside the navigation, the boat is slept in overnight, thus necessitating the replenishment of supplies etc thus a stop for (say) a week in a town.
A wider interpretation might be that the "place to place" in 14 days means that boating only need occur once every ~14 days, and the other time the licence holder is free to do whatever they wish, be that return home, work, have kids attend school, etc.
Since CRT so far concentrate on the movement 14 days aspect, rather than the navigating throughout aspect, it is clear that so far they have focused on the wider interpretation.
Also while we're here, since "cruising" is a synonym for "navigating", and the licence requires it "throughout" (of which "continuous" is a fair equivalent term), the slang term "continuous cruising" is reasonable.
