I've been boating since I was a baby, I'd love to do something like this. Your head is in the right spot, since you want a change of venue and this is most definitely different.

My suggestion is do it. You may not like it after a few months, but you may like it much more than you expected. If you don't like it, you can say you've done it and write a book about it. I would think the experience would be awesome regardless though.
