Cruising Log WEEK8

We spent the weekend in Petoskey, MI on the south side of Little Traverse Bay. This is our first time venturing into the bay as we are usually racing up and down the coast trying to make a deadline but not this trip, so we detoured in. Petoskey is a lively town and was made even livelier by the sidewalk sale and farmer’s market.

The bikes finally got off the boat and took us the 9 miles up and back to Harbor Springs where we put our name on a waiting list for Monday and sure enough made the cut. Harbor Springs is an upscale old time resort with boats of all descriptions and large bric-a-brac “cottages”. And it is a perfectly protected deep-water harbor.

It was a short cruise across the bay (our shortest yet) from Petoskey. We will stay here for while, take the dingy out for a cruise, that is if it ever stops raining, and just kickback and wonder where to go next.
