that sounds like a great idea to me for sure...I saw a language program at
best buy and it has 33 different languages in the box so I think I will buy
that one instead of just one language like french, italian etc. I am
looking for a blue water boat and going forward with my search now. I will
have to make it accessible for me but a good catmaran can help with that
issue then what do I do about crew? I am new to this idea but it is not
impossible and I have heard of other people with disabilities doing this as
well. I am looking, learning and listening.
