more pictures and on to Petoskey

 We had a "sporty" ride yesterday from Charlevoix to Petoskey!  I was happy it was only a bit over two hours.  We are in Petoskey Marina for about five nights.

Back North!

Image
  Our first furry friends aboard this trip with my friend Jen. We also had fun with friends from back home, the Kelly’s.  So Tuesday we left Traverse City and headed North. We were advised by friends to go to Omena Bay. Pulled into the beautiful bay and anchored. Had a frozen wine slushy (Frose) at Leelanau Cellars and lunch at Knot Just A Bar   Omena MI   Overnight at Northport Marina   Then headed toward Charlevoix.  Not much wind so motoring along and hmm what was that noise? We had run over something.  Turned around and this was what it was!  A ROV  Remote operated vehicle!  Good thing Jeff knows of them because I thought it looked dangerous like a torpedo!  No harm to us luckily! We were lucky to get into Charlevoix City Marina again. Every marina is busy and booked!  We even went on a dinghy excursion to see the beautiful homes. One more night here.  Welcome back Whitefish dinner tonight! A big house and room for you...

HAPPY JULY 4th!!!

Detour Reef Lighthouse Cheers! Breakfast Straits State Harbor So we mostly have not been in a WiFi or cell phone area. Everything is going good. We went from Drummond Island to Detour to Government bay in the Les Cheneaux Islands. We anchored a night in Government Bay and did a hike the next day on Government Island. It was a really cool cedar forest.   July 1 friends came up and it was so nice to see Al and Jane!  We docked at Cedarville Municipal Marina. It’s so nice!  Happy hour on the dock with sunshine!!!  Then dinner at Les Cheneaux distillery.  The next day we took Al and Jane sailing and through the channels around the islands.  There are many beautiful homes with boat houses and wooden boats.

Walked around town and settled in. Now coffee on the dock and wait...

Bikes, Uber, rental car, home and back

  So we wanted to go home and see family. It took an Uber to get us our car rental, a car rental and almost three hours and it was worth every bit!   Before we left we rode the bike trail to Black Star Farms for wine tasting. Beautiful ride!  It was 24 miles round trip. We also have since found out you can go one way and bring your bicycles back on the bus😍. Maybe next time!! The boat stayed at the dock in Elmwood Township marina just outside Traverse City. We were gone two nights. Then due to how booked these marinas are we moved to anchorage. We had one beautiful day and then yesterday morning (Saturday) we had rain and waves and more rain. We estimate almost five inches of rain in our dinghy!!  It was a rough morning.  We went to lunch and visited with our friends that have a place here. Every restaurant in Traverse City is so busy and the streets are full of people!  This morning is beautiful. We will spend a few more days here.  At the bottom I’l...
