    As a more manageable and not quite as expensive option: a shorter sail might be most of the adventure you need.

    I live in Boston and at one point joined a sailing school/club out of Boston harbor. They had mostly 35’ boats but a few up to 49’. It was so much fun learning to deal with open water, complex boats, crew cooperation.

    However the one thing I wasn’t in a position to do …. They organized cruises on the bigger boats: form a crew and sail to the Caribbean! While it’s nowhere near around the world, something like this is a couple weeks at sea and seems like a really cool adventure

      Good idea! I have been at sea for over a month at a time, but that was with the Navy, so definitely not the same as sailing for pleasure. I know I really liked the peace of the sea. I can’t imagine how much nicer it is with the freedom to go anywhere there is a shore.
