Begginner sailor, looking for advice on purchasing boat

Not to be a spoil-sport but here''s some thoughts. Perhaps the ocean is just as nasty and dangerous 75 miles out from Cuba, as 750 miles East from Burmuda? I don''t think the distance really matters as much as how far over your head the water will be - it only takes about six feet. You need a boat that won''t come apart in a storm and leave you floating somewhere....As to living on a boat of this type, you might first spend a summer in a four person pup tent with your wife to confirm that that style of living is in fact fun...


Good luck.
