A cruise through cottage country

Jeffrey Meyer

Today was, without a doubt, my favorite cruising day on the Loop so far. The weather was perfect—cool and comfortable, with gentle clouds softening the sun’s rays. For once, the wind gave us a break, and the stillness made the experience even more peaceful. What made the day truly special, though, was cruising along the winding river through cottage country. The shoreline was dotted with charming homes, each one whispering its own story. As I passed by, I found myself imagining the families who return to these places summer after summer. I pictured kids growing older each year, their laughter echoing across the water, while parents reconnect with old friends and neighbors whose lives have become part of their seasonal rhythm. There’s something deeply romantic about it all—the continuity, the memories that take root in these cabins, and the way generations pass the torch. Children become parents, and the cycle repeats, carving out a legacy of summers soaked in sunlight, water, and love. It made me feel quietly honored to witness it from the water, just for a moment.
