We enjoyed our last night aboard Thistle and got up early Friday morning to "Ship Shape" her for the winter.
It was a short 20 minute trip from the CHARLEVOIX City Marina to IRISH SPRING BOAT SHOP on Lake Charlevoix. We docked, signed our winter storage contract and said our good byes.
We rented a car and took a short tour of the local "UP" area and spent one night enjoying TRAVERSE CITY (It's a little disorienting being on land and sleeping in a hotel, we are both still moving like we are aboard Thistle?).
On Saturday morning we walked to the TRAVERSE CITY Farmers Market, relaxed sharing breakfast at a nice side street cafe and headed to the airport.
We retuned our rental car and checked in for our flight home. The TRAVERSE CITY Airport is a very small regional one, where we connected through Chicago to LAX.
Looper Tip: IRISH SPRING BOAT SHOP is a great winter storage spot.
Dear Blog Followers ... We will have one more summer 2015 "wrap up" post in a few days XO :) Thanks.

Back to Petoskey for tea at Dripworks, to Wallon Lake and Boyne City.
Then rode on the Ironton Ferry... Check out the 1884 prices :) Today a car with passengers is $3.25 for a short 5 minute ride.
TRAVERSE CITY is the Cherry Capitol of the World! There are tooooooo many cherry products to imagine?
Nice TRAVERSE CITY shops.
