Sunday, July 19

Lots of visitors today. A number of summer residents stopped by to see the light and walk the trails. One guy arrived by kayak. He had paddled over from Small Point and he would be facing the wind and waves head on during the paddle back. He said he had done this before and was comfortable in the voyage. Later on we watched him with binoculars and he was doing fine.

Our first visitors of the day were a couple from Virginia Beach, Virginia. They had come out to scout out the island and make final plans for their wedding on Thursday, July 23. They checked things out and we are all hoping for good weather on Thursday. Should be a memorable event.

We were so busy with visitors that we got little else done. The Friends said that is to be expected during the second half of our summer on the island. We are looking forward to visits from family and friends as well.

We saw a lot of boat traffic today. A number of tankers were leaving Portland and we saw the Cat on its way back.
