We've done it. We've actually closed on our first sailboat. I've been gathering food/supplies all week, arranged for a rental minivan, made arrangements with the Captain we've hired to both sail the boat home from Florida - and more importantly, start teaching us to sail.
Oddly enough, of all the videos, books, blogs, etc that we've been reading over the years, this video - that we watched on a whim last week, has by far been the most educational. It just seems to break down sailing into something we can easily understand. Now we just have to head down Sunday, leave the slip on Monday and see if any of the info sank in/works in practical application... It's really long. Just save it for later if you really want to learn to sail. :)
