Tuesday, July 21

Dave and Dave showed up this morning to work on the mooring buoys. Dave Power and Dave Percy. Dave Power had the boat and Dave Percy had the drysuit. Together they located the missing moorings and replaced pendants, shackles and other hardware. Dave Power had emailed me last night that they were coming out this morning. Unfortunately I was not getting and reception last evening and did not get the email.

So, at 0900 we heard a knock on the door. Some visitors wanted to see the lighthouse and they told us someone was working on the moorings. Brenda gave the tour and I went to the cove. Dave and Dave were successful! Now we have seven moorings ready for use.

Ethan had a busy day. He brought out three or four boatloads of visitors and a couple of sailboats showed up too. All went to the lighthouse where Brenda gave the tours and took care of the museum. The day was not a good beach day and we believe people were looking for other things to do. Visitors kept us busy from 0900 until 1500. After that some rain set in and that took care of visitation for the rest of the day.

Tomorrow is our day ashore and we are to meet Ethan at 0700.
