text: My wife and I are interested in buying a boat and having that as our full-time home for awhile. Neither of us have sailed very much, but I am going down to Greece for a month to try to pick up skills. Sailing, maintenance, navigation, everything.
  Ideally I'd love to live on boats and learn from locals or anyone else in the area. Failing that I wouldn't mind doing some courses. Or a combination of these two option.
  Does anyone have contacts in the Mediterranean? Or know of any courses? Or which Islands would be a good place to start.
  I'm strong, sensible, and learn quickly, and I'm entertaining; so please pass my details on to anyone who might be able to help.
