Crazy?

After some basic cruising course, I recommend that you sign on as delivery crew and get some offshore experience, hopefully protected by a capable skipper on a seaworthy boat. IF your dream persists throiugh that experience, I further recommend that you buy a good starter boat, 25''-30'' and use it as much as possible, to build the knowledge you need to select and equip a bigger boat. That way you get to make a series of small mistakes (AKA learning experiences) rather than one BIG mistake...

Good luck and I hope the dream prospers.
