We left Traverse City. It was a beautiful cruise north, not like the trip down. There are beautiful cottages along the shore, we couldn’t see them before.

Northport is a charming town. It was so hot that our first stop here was to get an ice cream. Yummy it was. We didn’t see any restaurants that looked inviting. In fact, I don’t think there was much there: a barbeque spot, a bakery, and a small grill. None of them looked popular. Eating on the boat it will be!

Friday we took a great walk through the neighborhood. It was great to talk to Vicki and findout that she has a friend, Nancy, here. I called her and we had a nice chat. The rain came in the evening. We had wanted to walk up and listen to the band in the park by the marina, but the rain did not let up. Will we travel tomorrow or not?
