Monday Aug 22

We left Beaver Island about 7:45 am, bound for Petoskey. Almost immediately it bagan to sprinkle and did that off and on most of the trip across the lake. The sky kept changing, but it was omnious looking for awhile - dark and brooding. But we did have wind from the right direction and we were able to sail most of the way to Petoskey. As we were coming into Little Traverse Bay the wind really picked up - about  22 knots. Fortunately we were at a point to take the sails down and motor into Petoskey Harbor. We got tied up and Vince and Diane took Skip back to Mackinaw City to get our car. I stayed behind to get some things done.
But while we were walking to the Andersons car, we noticed that the power boat next to us was named Koinonia. That's the name of our Sunday school class so we were all curious about the name. Later I asked a lady on the boat about the boats name. She told me that they had just purchased the boat and the name was already there. She went on to tell me that she googled the word because she didn't know it's meaning. She said it had spiritual meaning.  ;-)
When Skip got back we went to the Urgent Care Clinic to have my knee looked at (the injury from my biking experience on Beaver Island!). I was pretty sure there was infection in the wound and sure enough there is. So now I'm on antibiotics. It's gonna be an ugly scar for sure!
Later we went to the City Park Grill for dinner. Very nice! And the food was so yummy! City Park Grill is one of the oldest building's in Petoskey and a favorite haunt of Ernest Hemingway when he vacationed here in the summer's.
We checked the weather before we went to bed and decided to stay here another night. The weather (wind) is gonna be fierce tomorrow (Tuesday).
Love and Blessings,
Margo and Skip
