64 degrees w/ 5 mph winds
Day 85
Another beautiful day! Apparently today is National Lighthouse Day….dang wish I had
known…we would have hung our Seguin Lighthouse Flag! Remember my phone is dead, so someone
probably tried to call us and let us know.
Larry let me have the window open last night…we
had been told it might make everything “damp” the next morning…but it’s been
dry outside…LOVED it!
Guest are up and going, they ate their breakfast
outside on our picnic table…had them give me their dishes since I had a sink
full of hot soapy water. This gives them
a few more moments to enjoy their last moments on Seguin.
Ethan told us that there is a diver coming to
look at the placements of all our moorings…now for you Texans, a mooring is a
floating ball that is secured to the bottom of the ocean. This allows boats to come into our cove and
connect with one of these moorings so that they can stay put since they cannot
use an anchor. If they used an anchor
they might “pull up” our electrical cable which is underwater coming from the
mainland. One of our moorings had come
loose from its anchor/weight, so that’s the main thing our diver will be doing
today!

So while we waited for the
diver….we hunted for sea glass. Max and
Amaya were playing in the water and drawing in the sand…it was fun!

We are loving ourselves some Maine
BLUEBERRIES….so Blueberry Pancakes and sausage for breakfast. I’ve got to figure out what kind of berry
that was here on the island that I “thought” was blueberries…they looked and
tasted like blueberries…and I’m still here, so they weren’t poisonous.

By 10 am it was up to 70 degrees…it’s a heat
wave!
About 11:30 the lobster boat with our diver
showed up, but Ethan’s group was also arriving, so I left Trayce with my camera
to get photo’s of the guy diving in the cove and I hustled to the top…I try not
to let anyone see me take the tram to get up, then tell them they can’t. They don’t realize

Got to “stamp” a Lighthouse passport today…I
kinda feel important “stamping” their passport with the Seguin stamp.

| Families arriving in the cove....and here comes Ethan's group....ready to see the Island! |
Lunch….Crabcakes….I’m sure they tasted
fabulous…I wouldn’t know…allergic to shellfish..dangit. I had a ham sandwich!
Lots of great folks visited today, natural they
all loved the place and the tours. Our overnight
guest came and gave us hugs before they left with Ethan. Had one more boat of three girls come up
after everyone. The mother of the group
said we were the same age, she had come here often when she was young, but it
had been a while. She was so impressed
with the grounds, the duplex, the tower…she figured it was all falling down….
NOPE the great group of F.O.S.I.L. members work hard to keep this place
ALIVE…that is a good word for this place…ALIVE!

| One of our last families that were really impressed with the place...they are going to join and spend a few nights |
Its 5:30 and we are just setting for the first
time today….exhausted but grateful for the beautiful day…temp is 67 w/ 7 mph
winds…sorry Texas!
Our friends have gone onto shore and borrowed
our pickup to go see some sites of Maine.
Can’t wait to see all their photo’s.
Dinner…????? Too tired to cook or eat….I think
there is one more crabcake left…good that will be Larry’s dinner!
