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.

A delightful treat of a day

Sept. 9 - We left around 6:00 and sailed until we reached Liscombe Harbor. From there, we motored seven scenic miles through the harbor and up the river to Liscombe Mills. It reminds us of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Northern Minnesota. We docked early, at 2:30, which left us plenty of time to explore a bit and take advantage of some of the facilities offered at the resort here, which were included in our dock fee.We started with a hike and walked past a waterfall, through the woods, and alongside the river; it was a welcome change for the senses to be surrounded by trees with the damp, musty smells of moss and pine. I lingered a while to take more photos while Wayne and Michael headed back - Wayne needed to fill the water tank and hose the salt off the boat. We grilled steaks for dinner, then headed up to the indoor heated pool and spa. Mmmmm. It felt heavenly. Today was a delightful treat.
