We bought our 41' President in Michigan after a 5 yr loop cruise by the previous owner. There is a big difference in piloting the canals where you are very protected vs an open ocean transit as you may encounter depending on your route. 30' is a small vessel for months run together on a transit. Keep searching - googling, there are lots of trawler gatherings with training sessions, boats to walk on and owners to talk to.
The smarter you both get the more fun it is and remember EVERYBODY has an opinion, you need to develop your own needs and wants list.
