Sunday, August 30

Tropical Storm Danny has moved on. Today was partly cloudy and we walked the eastern beach trail. Waves were still high (eight to ten feet) from the storm and provided us with a nice backdrop. Dennis found some buoys along the way and even took a dip in a tide pool. We all enjoyed a nice walk at the water’s edge.

We had a few visitors during the day. These were sailors that were passing through. Margie and Brenda continued work on their jigsaw puzzle while Dennis and I tackled the toilets. We cleaned them out and bedded them again with the custom compost mix I made up. Next year’s caretakers should be all set.

We will be leaving Seguin within the week. We have enjoyed our time here. We have met super people, learned a lot, saw a different part of the country and shared our adventure with family and friends. We are, however, ready to return home. Back to our family and our jobs. Brenda and I will be looking at other opportunities in the future.
