Rick,

Welcome to the site. You might want to start with a seminar that includes details on safety gear and autopilots, and emphasize how many fewer sandwiches are necessary in a days event.

The crowd here will be very helpful. You may want to read through the forum notes for ideas.

No worries,
Brian
