Place for Sailing or fishing experience. In a remote village or maybe in a city?

I am planning to leave home, I have a wish to be a nautical poet. For that I needed a opportunity to sail. Can anyone suggest me a place where I can start sailing or fishing? For a meager survival atleast. Thank You. That will be a big help!" I am pursuing IB Examinations nowadays. After that I would be leaving for my expedition. Without not more than a thousand bucks.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you SERIOUS?.. just what the F#@K is a "nautical poet"? and the second question would be.. HOW CAN YOU MAKE ENOUGH TO LIVE ON as this so-called "nautical poet".. I've been on the water and around boats for nearly 50 YEARS and I have NEVER HEARD of a "nautical poet" until JUST THIS MINUTE.

If you want to be around sailboats.. then you have to GO TO WHERE THE BOATS ARE… and hanging around MARINAS is a good place to start.
