Welcome to the cruising blog of Wayne and Michele Sharp! Join us as we chronicle our journeys and adventures aboard our s/v Lena Bea, an Island Packet 445. Our maiden voyage in 2007 was from Bayfield, Wisconsin on Lake Superior via the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence Seaway, Eastern Seaboard, and ICW to Punta Gorda, Florida. We traveled to the Exuma Cays in the Bahamas in 2009 and 2011, and also to the Ragged Islands in 2011. Our most recent trip in April and May, 2013, was to the Abacos, Bahamas.

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.
Hi - sounds like your handling alot of difficult challenges. Getting a pedicure must have made you feel human again-should have grabbed a massage with that:) Very fun to read of your travels-I was born in Norfolk when my dad was in the service.Our kids are talking thanksgiving and Jim and I are going to tulsa to see his sister this year and they don't know if the bible study group can make it without them one year. We told Bill he could head up the kids and go--so don't know what will happen because its sooo become tradition for them. Keep safe and we'll keep praying. pj and jim
