STUFF YOU NEED TO KNOW
HOW DOES THIS TRIP WORK?
We will be sailing 3, 4 or 5 boats out of Bayfield, WI, all 34-38 feet
long. They each sleep six people to 10 people, have bathrooms (the
head) and kitchens (the galley). This is sailing in-style on fine boats
among some of the most beautiful cruising waters and wilderness islands
in the world. Each boat has a charter-certified skipper from Bethlehem
or a Bethlehem friend; including Jeff LeMunyon, Carl Craven, Kris
Meyer, Jill Olsen, Tim Kunau, Dan Nelson, Joan Nelson, Charlie Stark,
Dave Linnes-Bagley and John Haugen. We will teach you about handling
sails and lines, navigation, taking the helm, you name it. We will also
be sharing chores of cooking, clean up, etc., but we'll keep that
simple. Don't worry, this is vacation!
While these boats are very luxurious, they are cozy. You won't have a
personal space or room, and sometimes one gets a single berth, other
times we share doubles. During the trip there is a lot of great
sailing, spending nights at anchor, 19th century lighthouses, mile long
beaches, sea caves, wildlife, great company, food and just a great
chance to relax away from the routines of life. We also have a light,
but very meaningful spiritual component to the trip that will enhance
the meaning of the experience for you.

MISCELLANEOUS: EMERGENCY CONTACT
is possible while we are sailing. For real emergencies you can call Superior Charters, Inc. (1.800.772.5124) and have them radio to any of our boats, they will know which ones the Bethlehem group is using. If no answer at Superior Charters call the Apostle Islands Marina in Bayfield or the National Park Service headquarters in Bayfield or the U.S. Coast Guard in Bayfield (715.779.5100). They can all radio our boats, which monitor radio broadcasts throughout the day.
This trip will be fun and exciting, but also very safe. Every boat has all necessary navigation and safety equipment, and every skipper has plenty of experience in the Apostle Islands. There is always some awesome sailing, and we have some fabulous places to show you, including some neat surprises!
