Sunday, May 24

Brenda was up early and had breakfast ready. Then it was on to the mowing. We went down to the engine house, got the push mower and cut the Cove trail including the camping area. A lone sailboat tied up to a mooring in the cove. After lunch, we returned to clean the public restroom, cut some more grass on the trail to the lighthouse and spoke to the sailor who was now ashore. He is from Portland and took a few days off to sail. He said he was going to spend the night and cast off tomorrow morning.

For a brief time in the middle of the day, the foghorn was sounding. We had a shower pass by and the visibility decreased.

Back up at the lighthouse area I got the riding mower going and cut grass for another couple of hours while Brenda raked things up and prepared dinner. We watched the sun go down as it silhouetted Mount Washington. A gong buoy signaled the end to another day.

Weather today was partly cloudy, a passing shower, then sun in the late afternoon. Air temp in the 60’s, water temp 50 degrees.

Oh yeah…. Light still not working
