Hi. I'm a guy in this 30s. I've been on a sailboat exactly once in my life. That said, I've always been curious and I've always been drawn to long journeys.
I want to learn as much as I can over the next 20 years so one day I can
captain my own ship and explore the world.
Any tips on how to begin? I live near
Baltimore and
Annapolis, so right now the plan is to take lessons at one of the harbors when it warms up and I've been vaccinated. I've got a few sailing and ship
maintenance books on my
Christmas list. Hopefully one day I'll be able to crew a
boat and maybe help someone out with
repairs so I can get in there and get my hands dirty.
Any tips and
advice would be enormously welcome. Thank you and happy sailing!
