70 degrees w/ o mph winds

Day 95  Summer temps are here now!

Fog horn went off several different times last night.  The first five or six blast are loud, then it goes back to the original sound which isn’t very loud.  Going to call the CG and update them. 

Its hazy again this morning, the sun is so bright…this makes it difficult to see anything without sunglasses on.  Not many boats on the water as of 8:30 this morning.

Hazy to the East

Hazy to the North

Lunch…left over chicken pasta.

Beautiful day, lots of visitors!  Had a family from Austin, Texas come up…they were visiting family here in Maine.  A few independent boaters stopped and came up to visit.  Around 5 pm a family came up and he said this was the first lighthouse he had ever been in…Me too! 

We love our visitors, and we consider the greeting and tours our number one objective.  The only problem with trying to other “jobs” on the island is that we are limited what we can do on a daily basis.  Just about the time we start something, we stop to welcome and give tours…again, love our visitors…all that to say…we are still working on the kitchen cabinet…last coat of varnish.  This was going to be my project, but Larry couldn’t stand it and went to work on it.  He was finishing the last top coat while I went to give the last family the tour of the lighthouse.  With today’s heat it dried and is now back in the kitchen…Looks fabulous.

I screamed like a girl today…was taking photo’s outside and a snake slithered across my foot.  I’ve seen a couple, but this was my first “contact” with one.

Beautiful sunset with the crescent moon visible.

Dinner….Egg sandwiches
