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.

Little Traverse to Grand Traverse Bay

Another beautiful sunset  Apparently this is home to the “big hot woody”. The Mitten brewery in Northport Back out   Well not as many pictures now.  We left Charlevoix on Wednesday.  We had really enjoyed that marina!  Once out in the lake, we were moving along side the big yacht, The Scout.  Such a beauty!  It is the one shown in our last post.  Soon waves were a moderate size making for a sporty ride😀.  Safely arrived in Northport and actually had a couple hours sitting at the little beach.  That was so nice! Northport did not have any slips open for the next night, so we left and proceeded to Elk Rapids.  This is another beautiful marina.  We did go past Mission Point light but it was far off.  One surprising point I learned is that this bay has a depth of over 600 feet!  Crazy!

  June 26, 2021 StressLess is next to Timeless Yesterday there was no rain here!  Today the rain is back.  Anyway, yesterday we biked the really scenic biking trail to 40 Mile Point Lighthouse and it was worth it!  We went up the lighthouse and also saw remains on the beach of a shipwreck.  We then went to a couple shops and got groceries.

 On 6-22-2021 we left Harrisville and went to Presque Isle where we had poor connection so will catch up now.  We had some rain and it especially wants to rain when we go into the marina and Diana needs to be on deck to throw dock lines😀.  The winds were light on the way to Presque Isle so it was mostly motoring.  Presque Isle is beautiful so we spent two nights there.  We rode our bikes 14 miles around the area on Wednesday.  We also went 130 steps up the new Presque Isle Light House for gorgeous views!  This light house was built in 1870 and is great to visit.  The old Presque Isle Lighthouse was built in 1840.  We also took the dinghy for a wavy ride around the bay to the stone beaches. 6-24-2021 we traveled between Presque Isle and Rogers City.  The winds were variable from 15 to 25 knots.  We were able to point StressLess to the North, set the genoa sail and just go. . . never even having to tack!  A great ride!  Of ...
