My first-ever boat ride on the lake, with my brother Mike. After being in the car for 13 hours with my sister and her two little girs, and finally arriving at his rented cottage on Meredith neck, we were all completely wiped out. About an hour after we arrived, my brother asked "who wants to go for a midnight cruise?" I jumped at the chance, while everyone else looked at us like we had three heads! Out we went, Mike at the helm. He knows the lake like the back of his hand, and so I spent most of the ride simply soaking in the sound of the water as we quietly cruised along. The water was like glass, and there was not a sound to be heard outside of the loons calling in the night. We slipped almost silently along, and cruised into the Meredith Town docks. With not a soul around, we walked over to the falls and just took it all in. Back on the boat for more gliding along and listening to the loons. Six days later I headed back to Philadelphia
, quit my job
and moved here
