Saturday rolled around, and my friends Derek and Lauren came to the rescue. I had been working on my boat and couldn’t get it out on the water, but without hesitation, they offered to take me and my daughter along with them for a day of boating. Naturally, we jumped at the opportunity. There's nothing quite like spending a day on the water with great friends.
Derek and Lauren are the kind of people who make any day better. Their generosity and easy-going nature set the tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable outing. We headed out to Streichs, a popular spot among our boating crew, and as usual, the place was buzzing with energy.
The weather was perfect, sunny with just enough breeze to keep things comfortable. My daughter was thrilled, soaking up the sun. We encountered so many familiar faces at Streichs, all enjoying the idyllic day. There’s something about being on the water that brings people together, creating a sense of camaraderie and shared joy. As the day went on we lost the sun and it got a little chilly. But I didn't care it was great to be out and on the water.Â
We spent the day chatting, and simply enjoying the moment. The water was inviting, and laughter filled the air as we mingled with other boating enthusiasts. It was one of those days where time seemed to stand still, and all that mattered was the present.
I’ve got some fantastic photos from our day that capture the essence of our day—sunshine, smiles, and the sparkling water of Streichs. Days like this remind me of the simple pleasures in life and the value of good friends and family.
