Day 8 - Charlevoix to Northport - July 14, 2011

We had a very easy travel day today.  Twenty-six miles from Charlevoix to Northport in what I would have to call perfect “powerboat” weather.  There was a very light wind and no waves – if only all travel could be this easy.  Before we left Charlevoix we did take a quick turn into Lake Charlevoix and looked at Oyster Bay where many people anchor.  There were a few boats at anchor and it did indeed look like a nice spot.  The homes around this lake are just as beautiful and spectacular as those around Round Lake.

We filled up all fuel tanks here in Northport as they are by far the lowest we have seen - $3.84 per gallon for diesel.  Gas is higher.  We typically call the marinas along our route a few days in advance to check fuel prices and Northport was the “winner” in this area.
