Mostly on survival at sea. I want to be a mariner. The less modern
the boat the better. I have a wife who will be in the U.K., and I'd
like to re-unite with her after having crossed the Atlantic. I would
also be getting an anchor tattoo when I make it. Does this sound too
flippant? I really want to do this. I've been dreaming of an
adventure at sea for years.

Let me know what I can do and what I'd have to do.

Look for some boats traveling from the Caribbean to the Med. or England
in the April to May period. Many look for crew to help with the trip.
Normally they want someone with sailing experience, but you might get
lucky and someone will be willing to teach you. Do a search on "Looking
for Crew" and you can find sailors looking and you can advertise for
what you are looking for.

The other option is to pay to ride a freighter across the Atlantic.
