My advice: Take a safety course and get a license. Not required in all 50 states. Some states won't let you boat without one and will fine you if they catch ya.
Take the ASA (American Saliing Assc) class. Teaches you more than just about sailing. Does a good job of teaching you the rules of the road (water), saftey and ermergecy procedures. Get a VHF radio and learn how to use it.
Owner of the boat should always be sober while boating.
Learn where the hazards are where you boat.
Be armed at all times, there are pirates out there.
