June 24, 2017: Harbor Springs to Bay Harbor to Charlevoix
5 miles to Bay Harbor, 15 miles to Charlevoix: 20 miles today, 5,203 Trip Miles to Date
A good day today. After walking around and checking out Harbor Springs, had a chance to head over to Bay Harbor to check out a Vintage Car and Boat Show. Bay Harbor, MI is probably the premier resort living location for the rich and famous (my words). In other words, everything here has a “wow) and many one percenters must live here.
The show was great, as you would expect! The local Potosky High School Percussion Band treated everyone to a concert which was outstanding! Then, there were the boats!
Want to do the Great Loop but need a bigger boat? Have a need for speed?
Which way is the bow (pointy end?)
Need more space to take more people? How about this one:
Last, (if i were to do it again choice) is the “Caroat). Half boat, half car. No more walking or taking Uber to the B&B or Hotel. Just drive out of the water (see video on my Facebook page),
It was fun and there were people everywhere checking out the cars and boats! Thanks to Dan Horning for telling me about this event!
At 5:30 pm Dave Gallinat, local pickleball ambassador met me and we took off for his home town of Charlevoix on Journey, some 15 miles further south. It was a bumpy ride that late in the day and it took us two hours to get to Charlevoix safe and sound. I was invited to dinner at Dave’s home (I never turn down homecoming and great conservation).
Pickleball tomorrow morning! Yea. Looking forward to playing. It has been awhile.
That is todays story as I move into the home stretch! Look Out Grand Haven, here I come.
Dinghy Dave
I like those fins on the car/boat. Reminds me of the 58 Oldsmobile. Have you had any swim time, voluntarily that is?

David: You sure have found some great sights on your adventure. Glad you met someone who took you in and you have a chance to get your pickleball fix. So great to know you are in Michigan. I know you are getting excited to get to Grand Haven and that chair in front of the tv! Safe journey, my friend.

Lankford & I continue to follow you, Dave. Yep, the Caroat would have been perfect to get to the Magnolia House Inn in Hampton, Va. You are almost home.! Our prayers for traveling mercies remain with you.
