Many thanks to Gold Looper Paul from Nordic Tug Zephyr for transporting us for re-provisioning in his home port of Petoskey. We missed seeing Denise, but we loved her snappy convertible! Later in the day Paul joined fellow Loopers from Summertime, Lone Star, 4th Inning and Eagle Heart on Moondance for docktails and cruising talk. Using loaner bikes from the marina, we peddled east on the paved Little Traverse Wheelway to get a first-hand look at the Bay View Association. Its a Methodist “encampment” of nealy 500 Victorian homes. Using the Chautauqua (NY) Assembly model to inspire, entertain and educate, the hillside community has been active in the summer months for almost 150 years. On the north shore of Little Traverse Bay, Harbor Springs has a showy presence with notable family names such as Ford, Upjohn and Gamble. Further west of Petoskey on the south shore is Bay Harbor Lake, an upscale private community created in the 1990’s on the site of a limestone quarry.
