Hi everyone, I just want to get some advice and see if my plans are ridiculous or not.
I live in Melbourne and want to sail up the east coast during 2020. I grew up with a tinnie, using it for river fishing as well as a trip up at the GBR. But I haven't sailed before. Is it completely unreasonable to start sailing now with my ambitions? Obviously it depends on the amount of time and money I could dedicate but i want to get a rough idea if its possible. I've spent a lot of time in the ocean, surfing, and diving. I also paraglide so I've got a pretty good idea of weather patterns and watching the sky.

Im thinking of doing some lessons then starting to crew if possible. Eventually I'd like to buy something like a Top Hat 25.

Thanks in advance
