7/31 - Petoskey, Michigan

Summer finally arrived! We had a lovely 32 mile trip across the Lake this morning with the wind at our stern (for a change) and calm seas with mild temperatures. What a difference a day makes! (Sounds like a song!) The scenery as we headed into Little Traverse Bay was reminiscent of Chesapeake Bay with many small sailboats out on the water.

Petoskey Marina is a fairly new marina with nice facilities behind a stone breakwater. The town is a close walk with many up-scale stores and fun restaurants, and the marina adjoins a lovely museum and park. We had a great dinner at "Papa Joe's", and upon our return to the dock, we were delighted to see that "Dauntless" with Dan and Mary Jo Flory aboard had also come into this port from St. Ignace. All of us were watching the weather as the winds are supposed to pick up from the southwest tomorrow, so we will make our decision about staying for another day in the morning.
