Just me, I'm not bringing any crewmates

I've always been interested in boats but have never been at sea for longer than 2 days.
I would love to "try it out" as such, by being on a boat for a few days or week, learning about sailing and boats, and deciding if it is indeed for me, before possibly buying my own small boat.

Eager to learn about nothing and anything actually - information sponge.

I love the freedom that yacht living symbolises. It is a bit of a dream for me, going on a sail journey to the Caribbean, but having had no real experience I would be very keen to first "try it out" on shorter journeys I.e. South Africa -> Madagascar or Mauritius etc before committing to something like an Atlantic crossing.
