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.

2/14/09 - Chub Cay

After a quiet, calm, pleasant day we anchored off Chub Cay with Dues Paid and quite a few other boats. We decided to wait until Nassau to check in because it costs an extra $100 to check in here if we don't spend the night at the marina and $2.80/ft (($126) if we do. Besides that, we would have to go to the airport to do it, which is a five minute bus ride (or so they say). In Nassau they will come to our boat and it won't cost us any more than the standard $300 for a cruising permit.
 
I am emailing these updates via our satellite phone, which has slow dialup speed of 38 kbps, too slow to even check the blog to make sure they're posting correctly. Tomorrow in Nassau we will have wi-fi so I will able to post photos, etc.
 
Betty and Leo had us over for "attitude adjustment" and dinner this evening, which was a real treat.
