Went to Starbucks today...

The whole time I was there I was thinking of what I need to do to get started with my plans. First I need to learn how to sail. So, I will need to find someone or a group of people who are willing to show me the ropes hopefully for free. I can't afford to take lessons or classes, and the internet can only get you so far before you have to experience it for real. If any of you know someone who would be willing to teach for free around Lake Huron please let me know. How about you? What are you doing to get where you are going?
