Definitely a possibility, but I have sailed with my father up from the
Caribbean on a ~35' Hunter. I'm pretty sure I'd like to repeat that trek a
few more times in my life (let me stress that at this point, I'm a novice
and totally unqualified for such a trip, but I hope to gain experience in a
safe environment and build up to that). I can also imagine wanting to try
something longer one day too.

I said "boating/sailing" in part because of the name of the newsgroup and in
part because I don't yet have a boat, but yes I intend to sail. I want to
find a home first, boat second. :-)

Thanks,
Colin

Since you are _very_ new to "boating/sailing" how can you be certain that
ocean access is of prime importance? Many "boating/sailing" enthusiasts
spend their entire lives just messin' around on lakes and bays and are
none
the worse for it.

Good luck and good sailing.
