Big difference if you want to sail in the ocean vs a lake. Boat is easy, the ocean can be a *****! Learn a lot, respect the weather/seas and be careful. Sounds like a great retirement plan. I'm a spot jealous.
Oh for sure a big difference. We are thinking of taking our other certifications in the Bahamas just so we get a feel for the open ocean and we will have an instructor with us.
This is possibly a way before retirement decision. Sell it all and travel the world, we've started a 5 year plan a couple months ago. Been watching a lot of sailing vlogs and reading. Finding out there are family's with little kids that do this and they are making it..
