Welcome to the cruising blog of Wayne and Michele Sharp!

If you want to learn a little bit about cruising, satisfy your curiosity, live vicariously, or be entertained, I think you've come to the right place.

Feel free to ask questions or post comments in the comment section of each post; I will respond to all of them. You can also email us at reluctantsailor@me.com.

We've written a book based on the blog from our first journey in 2007 - Adventures of a Once Reluctant Sailor: A Journey of Guts, Growth, and Grace. It is available online from my website at reluctantsailor.net, and from Apostle Islands Booksellers, Copperfish Books, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble. Your local bookstore can also order it for you. We've included over 170 color and black and white photos.

Communicating


Just FYI - We got a fantastic deal on a satellite phone with unlimited minutes and you are welcome to call us. I don't want to publish the phone number here on the internet, but we will be emailing it to people. The service should be fairly dependable, but if you don't get through on the first try, wait five or ten minutes and try again...often there isn't a satellite close enough for service. If we call you, the number will not show up on your caller ID; it will say something like "restricted," "out of area," or "unknown."

We'll have our cell phones too, of course, but won't always be in the range of cell towers. If you don't have our cell phone numbers, your call will be forwarded to my cell phone if you dial our home number in Plymouth. And of course you can always email us. We'll want to know what's happening with you and with things back home.

Communication is vital - I would not be making this trip if we couldn't contact or be contacted in case of an emergency.
