| Several sail boats out today |
Piddled
around most of the day. No really big
projects to speak of. Mowed and some weed
eating the trails.
No lunch…neither
of us were hungry.
More mowing
and piddling…documenting inventory, cleaning, etc…

It was a
quiet afternoon till we spotted a visitor, Moby. He had come from Boothbay Harbor and was
suppose to meet some friends. The waters
were a little rough and he was suppose to meet those friends in our cove. Apparently they back out, so he was going to
continue on tomorrow to Portland, ME. He
visited our museum and gift shop, leaving a donation….Thanks! Larry gave him the tours of the tower as well
as the other things to see here at the top.
He went on to walk a couple of the trails, then back to his boat. He told us that he has sailed to Key West, FL
and wants to sail on up into Canada, thus being able to claim having sailed the
entire East Coast of the United States….wow!

OK, now
we were getting hungry….left overs are calling our names…time to clean out the
fridge!
Historical
Facts
The name
Seguin is believed to come from the Native American word sutquin, which meant,
the place where the sea vomits.
Seguin is
located approximately two and a half miles from the mouth of the Kennebec River
and is considered to be one of the foggiest locations in the world.
In 1907,
the fog signal sounded for 2,734 hours, nearly one third of the year.

My
History
Dad was
stationed out at sea on a lightship until my birth, which he was able to come
home for. He then went back out to sea
for another six month. After that they
stationed him at Pond Island, ME…so he came and got me and momma, Jan 1960. This would be our “first” home together
together.
My room
was nearest the lighthouse, on the back side of the house, close to the fog
horn. Their room was towards the front
of the house. We celebrated my First Birthday
on Pond Island! I plan to celebrate my
56th Birthday there also!! We
were the last family to live on Pond Island.
