Day 383 August 10 Petoskey Marina Petoskey MI

58 degrees on the bridge this morning.....a heat wave is coming.....No wind....blue skies.....northern Michigan is a very nice place to visit...


 Red Skies in the morning...sailors take warning
 
 
Harbor View Victorian Homes
 
 
Hard to catch in a moving car
 
 
This one was the one
 
Harbor Springs is just a few miles to the north of Petoskey and is a waterfront resort community for famous family names such as Ford, Upjohn and Gamble.  The Harbor Springs area has been a summer resort for more than 100 years and is a place to come back and spend time
 
 
Harbor view
 
 
 Municipal marina does not take reservations
 
 
Beautiful old homes line the streets
 
 
 All with beautiful flowers
 
 
You could see this church as you came into town
 
 
 Down by the waterfront
 
 
Protected harbor for what it is worth
 
 
 Harbor Spring Light house on point
 
 
These homes have been in the families for years
 
 
Picture perfect
 
 
Visit with coach friends....Skipper and Frankie
 
 
A little Mexican food this evening 
 
 
 Well, they finally came home
 
Northern Michigan is beautiful.....cool.....a wonderful place to spend the summer.  A short visit with Skipper and Frankie and tour of their new coach brought back lots of memories of the Mac Pack.......It had been 4 years since we had seen them at the rally in Washington DC.  Coach friends are like boat friends......always glad to see one another when you are in the same place....
We have enjoyed our stay but its time to move on.......weather is changing and if we do not leave bright and early tomorrow morning we could be here for several days as some front is coming....
