Oops…didn’t look this morning, but at 4 pm it was 77 degrees w/ 6 mph winds
Day 51

Independence Day, Declaration of Independence in 1776, it is the 185th day of the year (not in leap year) and 180 days remaining until the end of the year, the Earth is at its farthest from the sun. 


It was cool and hazy this morning when we woke.  Today is a day to just be lazy, a day of sitting around and enjoying family and sharing the island. 
Breakfast…Breakfast Burritos!


Ferns

Ethan didn’t have any groups wanting to come out, but we did have a few personal boat loads come to see us.  Later we looked out an a gentleman was standing out on one of the large rocks out front taking photos.  I called out to him telling him I was sorry I had not known he was here.  He started apologizing that he didn’t know anyone would be here and hadn’t put his hearing aids on.  He came to the house and I gave him a tour and he did just fine hearing me.  He was very excited about being able to go to the tower.  He was also intrigued by the history of the island.  He wanted to purchase a t-shirt, but since he hadn’t thought anyone was here he hadn’t brought money.  He’s going to go online and purchase it.  He will be staying in the cove for the night.

Sadly our little seal was still out there this morning…

Grandbabies have really enjoyed the grounds, running and having a blast.  They’ve been playing with the drift wood we’ve collected.  Zoe loves climbing the rocks below…Nani is have a heart attack when she does!!

Our overnight guest have arrived and have settled in…they are going back out to the boat they arrived on to have Lobster for dinner.

Bob, my gentleman from earlier, came back up and bought the t-shirt!
