Saturday, July 27, 2024: Today we are in need of some groceries and the nearest store is not within a convenient walking distance. The marina, Walstrom Marine, offers a golf cart to their guests and while we were talking to the harbormaster, the couple who borrowed the golf cart before us pulled up. They had another stop to make and offered to drop us off on their way and pick us up when they're finished. The timing worked out perfectly and as we drove up the somewhat steep and winding road, we were relieved not to be walking. This couple keeps their boat here all summer and he used to live in the area. He asked if we wanted to do a little sightseeing and of course we were excited at his offer. They drove over to the bluff and we just sat and chatted for a while, watching the sailboat races on Little Traverse Bay. It was breathtaking! Once they dropped us back off at the marina and we unloaded our groceries, we were ready to repeat some of our dinghy adventures from yesterday and more. This time we went as far as Petoskey State Park. We pulled the dinghy up on the beach and cooled ourselves off in the water before continuing on. Heading back in the direction of the marina, we got a closer look at some of the races. Then we relaxed at Zoll Street Beach. It's a tiny beach that is dog friendly and quite busy. It was entertaining watching the dogs come in and play.
Yesterday at Staffford's Pier Restaurant, I saw many people ordering Mudslides and I couldn't stop thinking about them today so we went back, sat at the bar, and tasted them for ourselves. They were excellent; a perfect afternoon snack. We had a simple dinner on the boat and spent the evening walking through the neighborhoods, enjoying the beautiful homes. This is one of the most picturesque places we have visited.
