My watermark takes place in Bayfield. We had driven up to my Grandma's cottage for a day filled with boating, eating and having fun with the family. We had driven up our boat and my Uncle had brought his jetski, so tubing, skiing and swimming was in store for us. We arrived, and everyone rushed out to greet us and to tell us to get ready to go on the boat. We got our bathing suits on and ran down onto the dock where everyone was waiting in the boat. We jumped in and off we went. We boated out to our favorite swimming spot and dropped anchor.

We dove in and began swimming around. My cousin would swim underneath our aunts and pinch their toes while I spoke about how we just saw the biggest fish. After they all knew our trick we swam to shore and back. When everyone returned, we got into the boat and had a debate on who would get to waterski first. After water skiing, we would swim again and blow up the tube. No one could stay on the tube if Uncle Jeff was behind the wheel! He would turn and accelerate and the tube would whip out almost beside the boat!

Some of my best memories are with my family in Bayfield so I will always try to keep this beautiful lake clean and cold for generations to come.
