Thursday, July 9

We got ashore today. It was a nice day with great weather. No fog, no rain.

We met Ethan at 0700 on the beach and arrived in Popham about twenty minutes later. After breakfast at Percy’s it was off to our on-shore routine. We had lunch at Friendly’s and were back on the island by 1630.

On arrival we noticed some boats tied up to the moorings. Brenda met an artist who was painting the lighthouse when she walked to the top. Another family was here also, from Annapolis and Severna Park, Maryland. We got some of our stuff put away and enjoyed talking with them, touring the lighthouse and I showed the youngsters how the tram worked. Great kids and a wonderful family who have deep ties to Seguin.

Both of us were tired by 1900. Our shore days begin early and are busy. We had a light dinner and turned in early.
