Greetings,
Welcome aboard, if I've missed you. The very FIRST thing I would suugest is some boating courses. I have no idea where Sewel is so either United States Power Squadron (USPS) or Canadian Power Squadron (CPS) offer basic and advanced boating courses and the winter is the best time to take one or two, or more. Should be a local chapter in your area.

Some days training with a qualified captain should allow you to handle a boat in the 32' to 42' range.

Seems you're going to be traveling in relatively protected waters BUT both draft (how deep) and air draft (how high) should be considered to afford access to as many cruising grounds as available.
