Marv,
I think the best way for you to gain
confidence is to get experienced crew to go out with you and your family on
your boat. A few hours on the lake and you should feel confident about
handling it in easy weather. I would suggest that you work your way up to
those days when it’s blowing 35+ Just watch the weather and take
normal boating safety precautions and you will be fine.
There is usually any number of us about on
the weekends. But if you send an email about a specific date, you
probably could get confirmation from somebody willing to help you out.
