From the tip of the little finger at Northport, around both sides of Old Mission, to the charming village of Elk Rapids, I took a drive-about around the Grand Traverse Bay, all 132 miles of shoreline. The enchanting views drew me in. Sunlight dancing on the sparkling waters. Groups of sailboats moored to buoys. Anglers standing in their boats hoping for a bite from the big fish. Windsurfers catching the next gust of wind. People taking in the views from their beaches and docks. Sailboats racing across the bay, their colorful sails unfurled.
