Saturday, July 11

Outward Bound did not show up. Did not hear anything so we don’t know what happened.

I went to the cove to wait for Cindy Carney and Jim Bennet. They were coming out to take some trash off the island and to make plans for needed work on the lighthouse and the keepers quarters. They spent a couple of hours and it was a productive visit.

The seas were building from the west. A low pressure system was moving in and the winds increasing. Cindy and Jim left in the early afternoon.

While waiting for the boat to come in I mowed the grass in the cove area. Meanwhile Brenda cleaned the house, swept the light tower and museum.

One couple arrived early in the day aboard their forty foot steel trawler. They travelled from Newburyport, Mass. The vessel is a passage maker powered by an eighty horsepower John Deere diesel. At only two gallons per hour they have a 3800 mile range. They plan to spend the night in the cove and wait for the front to pass.

The only other visitors today were a group of five men aboard a large sloop. They visited the lighthouse and sailed away around 1500.
