[TruckDriver]

hi all...
i''m a trucker dreaming of sailing off to nowhere. this has been a dream of mine for 18years now. i blame all this on Joshua Slocum!! lol. my plan is buy a boat (28-32ft)and drive during summer months and sail in the winter. my problem is i''ve never been on sailboat. good one huh?
this is my plan..
(1) charter a boat (in my size range) with a captain just to see if this will be for me.
(2) buy a boat and take lessons. either through a school(i hate schools of any kind)or hire someone to teach me on a 1 on 1 basis.
(3) drive and sail as i can.
(4) eventually disappear in the wild blue nowhere.

basically the same routine i''ve seen in other posts on differant sites. i''ve been told a trucker has an advantage of most beginners because we share the same lifestyle except im on land.

any advice(good,bad or otherwise)will be greatly appreciated.

thanks for you time.
