Saturday, June 13

Beautiful, sunny, warm day. I got in the water this afternoon to help launch the inflatable. It was cold, but not unbearable. Actually made my feet feel good!

The sun is rising early now, a few minutes before 0500. The pre dawn light woke me up and I got my camera to capture the sunrise.

Ethan showed up around 0800 to start taking the students back to the mainland. They get one day ashore and then back to another island on Monday. It took three trips to get all of them and their stuff back to the mainland. I believe they had a good time this week but I know they were ready to take a shower and get cleaned up.

Ethan came back at 1300 with his girlfriend and some FOSI members, On Island Committee Chair Cyndy Carney, FOSI Office Manager Connie Burt and her friend from Florida, FOSI Vice President Dee Perry and her granddaughter (I think). They all journeyed to the lighthouse, took a tour, saw what we are doing to the place, provided extra interesting facts, gave some instruction on the clivus multrum toilet and spoke to Brenda about writing up a welcome book for visitors that may be utilizing the guest quarters in the future. They shoved off at 1600 and said they enjoyed their time here. We invited them back to spend more time, maybe even a night in the house.

During the day we had a number of guests. I think around twelve showed up. Some were on sailboats, others on power boats and one group was in an inflatable. Tours were given to all. They enjoyed the trails, the picnic tables and the warm sun.

Last night Brenda accused me of turning a light on and off a couple of times. This is a small bedside lamp with a turnkey switch. The light is in the second bedroom, the one we are not using. She would turn it on and a little while later she noticed it off. This happened a couple of times. Then she turned it off when she went to sleep and she awoke in the middle of the night to find it on. It wasn’t me! Let’s see what develops.
