Honestly live aboard sailing lessons would be a dream of mine, but not of my friend, so not for this trip, but definitely is a bucket list item for myself! I always said if I had unlimited funds I would buy a Cat hire a crew for 1 year and say "teach me everything"! I turn 40 this year it may be a birthday gift to myself! (the lessons, not the boat!) LOL!

I guess when I say I don't have the confidence to do my own boat and hire a Captain, it is because I know nothing! I don't even know how i would interview a crew, to ensure I get the right fit! But it for sure sounds like that a great way to go and I will remember that after we get this trip under our belt!

All this information is so helpful and is getting me so excited to get this dream started! I have started a list of all our options and I know with all this great advise we will chose a great option! I will keep you posted and I am sure I will have more questions!
