As mentioned in the Learning to Sail section, you can start with learning the theory of sailing and then move to the practical (read: get out there and do it) or just get your feet wet, so to speak. If you learn best by experience and feel confident about going online and Savvy Searching, then go for it. Savvy Sailing Girl encourages you to do this. But if you’d rather get on board with sailing and crewing, and NOT have to also navigate finding your own cruising opportunity, check out the Useful Links where you’ll find some possible options. Or, Savvy Sailing Girl may be able to help you… either recommending a boat and skipper she knows personally that would be a good and safe place to learn, or to perhaps have you sail along with Savvy Sailing Girl herself for a week or two. No promises, as all depends on timing, circumstances, and individual situations, but do get in touch and we’ll see what we can come up with.
