    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.
    fair winds my friends
