57 degrees w/ 6 knots
The day started a little hazy. The seas are so smooth, can’t see any waves,
it looks like glass. There are more
boats out on the water than I’ve ever seen at one time.

Last night I removed as much of the red paint
off my skin as I could….dressing this morning I found a few spots I missed.
Breakfast of Coffee and Blueberry pancakes….becoming
a regular diet for us…loving the Maine blueberries!
Friends from Texas just text me and said they
want to come visit Seguin next week.
They are originally from Maine and were excited when I told them we were
headed here this summer.

Worked a little more on the Kiosk this morning,
then I heard some voices down in the cove….a couple of kayakers who came from
Popham beach. They lived about 90 miles
up the coast and had just come down for a visit. This was their first time to Seguin.
Then Ethan arrived with a full boat of
people. I got to go down to the waters
edge and help get them to shore. Some stayed on the boat, Ethan was taking the
around the island to do some fishing.
Arriving on shore were a couple and then a group of wonderful young boy
scouts from Boston, Mass. Bandit also
helped welcome the group.
The Boy Scouts had lots of good questions and
Larry was able to answer them. They
enjoyed the tours and went on to enjoy the south trail before meeting the boat
back to shore.

My phone…which is my brain and communication with the world
“died”. So I went to use Larry’s phone
to call the Seguin office and guess who hadn’t put the numbers in his phone. This will be ok! The office had called to tell me about some
guest coming next week, that’s when we got cut short by my phone. Thank God, my daughter was able to help me do
CPR on it via facebook! It’s alive and
kickin!
With the visitors finished and headed down was the time to
have a quick lunch of left over spaghetti.
The sun is shining bright and the temp went up to 70, but the breeze
from the ocean is a little nippy. We are
planning on yard work till Ethan calls us back on the radio….he’s bringing a
contractor out and needs Larry to come out with the dingy to get them.
I write my post at different times of the day. Sometimes I start it right after breakfast,
then I add a little info throughout the day or I don’t start writing till about
8pm, so with that said, I might write in future or past text depending on when
I get a moment to write. Hopefully you
are being bored with silly things like what we had for breakfast, etc…
You can also tell I am not grammatically correct. I write like I talk….so when there are “dot
dot dots” that is just where I took a moment to make an expression or get your
attention, etc… If my Texan slang comes
out…I don’t try to go in an fix it, like if I say fixin too.
Sold my first Christmas Seguin Ornaments today. The couple couldn’t decide which one to get,
the smooth edge one or the scalloped edge one…so they bought both!
Ethan came back out about 4:30 with someone who’s going to
give a bid to the F.O.S.I.L. group about doing work on the old “Oil
House”. I love that little building, it
would make the perfect little beach cottage.
More yard work and plans to prepare our fish that we picked up on
Wed. Thinking about putting lemon and
dill on it and putting it in parchment paper to bake…this would be a first for
me.
Dinner….fixed the fish by baking it in butter and lemon
juice with some dill and breadcrumbs on top.
To go with it I fixed asparagus and rice. I did good!

After dinner we were able to catch a few sunset photos, but
the temp had dropped down to 57 and we didn’t spend much time doing that. Sunsets
are always a fabulous way to end the day.
We stand out and can almost get a 360 view of our surroundings, the
beautiful old historic buildings and the tower and The Light…wow!
