It's not like the reverse where a boater wants to learn to ski...it's more like a coastal guy wants to become a mountain man....there's just too much involved with serious cruising to learn from afar, like livin' in the rural mountains.

Once experience starts to sink in...sure spending time away from it won't hurt...but this guy has zero experience if I read post #1 correctly.
That's the way I read it too and he could hate it. There are boat rentals on the lakes and charters in the PNW and that's how I'd recommend he start. That will help him then figure out what is right for him. But I certainly wouldn't jump into buying a boat.
