å mase med

I'm not entirely sure I understand å mase correctly in the following sentence:

Vi var blitt enige om ikke å mase med å spise frokost om bord i båten […]

Does it mean they agreed not to bother eating breakfast on board? Or is ikke å mase med stronger than not to bother?

[u/tobiasvl → u/Eberon]

That's what it means, and I don't think it's much stronger than "to bother". Maybe a little, because it implies that the thing you won't bother to do actually would be a little bothersome to do.

Thanks!
