Welcome aboard! Here's a little off-site reading to get you started as well:
How to Sail a Boat - WikiHow
Then you can go play with sails and rudder and wind direction right here on line without getting wet!
National Geographic | Volvo Ocean Race 2001-2002
A course with the local CG auxillary or at an ASA certification school is always helpful but you have a boat, and protected waters and you can always just drop the sails and turn the key if you need to so don't be bashful about it!
Have fun and we're here for your questions as they arise!
