Friday, May 29

The day dawned foggy and wet. A mist fell most of the morning. I walked to the cove and checked things out and then explored the South trail. The rocks were wet and slippery but the walk was worth it. The trail ends at a rock cliff overlooking the ocean. The foghorn was sounding, the waves crashing and the gong buoy was doing its’ thing. Sounded, looked and felt like Maine.

Later on it cleared up some and I cut the grass around the house again. Brenda cleaned the guest part of the house, straightened out the bed linens, swept up and cleaned the bathroom. The guest side is very nice. There are two bedrooms, a total of three single beds and two queen size blow up mattresses. There is also a small refrigerator, a hot plate, a microwave and the composting “throne”. The plan is to finish off a small area with a sink and offer overnight accommodations through FOSI. This would be an additional source of income for the group.

We are expecting a group of Boy Scouts early tomorrow. So I need to be down at the cove with the inflatable blown up and ready to ferry the boys in.

Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer and dry… we’ll see.

I spoke to the USCG in Portland today about the light. Light technician Ben Ellena asked me to check things out. I got inside the light, ratcheted the bulbs around…. But no success. Ben said they had to schedule a trip out here to look into the problem.

Meanwhile… still no light on Seguin
