Delta to the Great Loop to Alaska

Hey everyone, I was so thankfull to come across this website. I have so many Q's so for now I will put everything in a nutshell.
We are in our early 40's, and hope to retire in about 10yrs. We have a 60' Houseboat in a lake that we spend the weekends on. We have had the usual pontoon party boa, ski boat, and jet skis. ( all at lakes ) we are bored with the lake thing.
Because we have no experience in real boating ie; currents,weather,draft,shoaling,markers,anchoring, tides etc. ( I've been reading alot and have learned new terms) lol. We thought we could practice in the Delta ( only a few hours from us) while we are not retired. Then Retire and travel the Great Loop, then to Alaska and who knows. We have never been in a trawler or ocean going anything. So with all that said, where in the heck do we start?
We are in Central CA
