Does anyone have a recommendation on a good place for me and my

I probably won't fall overboard. We do mostly weekend cruising. NE
area would be ideal.

My first wife and I chose Steve Colgate's Offshore Sailing School (many
locations) and we did not regret the choice. We later took a second course
in Florida which was as much a vacation as an instruction method.
