Hi,
I'm very new to yachts - have never been one one let alone owned one. (planning to purchase one in a couple years though).

I had some questions in my mind, and I'm sure they will be common-sense to you all but I haven't been able to get them answered by researching on the internet- so I thought I'd ask here:

- Is it possible to cross the atlantic ocean in a private yacht? Is it common?
- I know that when flying in airplanes, the FAA needs to be told about the flightplan- is there something similar for boats? What about when travelling internationally? (lets say from Canada to the Carribbean?)
- What about travelling in the Pacific; is it considered normal for somebody to take their private yacht from lets say LA to Hawaii? - or even from LA to Tahiti?

Thanks,
W.
