Thursday, August 13

We woke to the sound of the foghorn. It was noticeable since we haven’t heard it in a while. Most of the day was overcast and cool. We didn’t expect many visitors.

We were wrong.

This was one of our busier days. Visitors began showing up at 1000 and did not stop until 1700. They were from all over. One group from Connecticut that has a cottage here in mid coast. Another from Colorado that also summers here. Kids of all ages and one dog. One older man came with his daughter and grandkids. He was the fourth generation of a keeper that was here in the 1800’s. He was surprised to find the family name on our caretaker list and even some written documentation.

Brenda and I split up the lighthouse tours and in the meantime I cut grass. Cyndy surprised us when she showed up in the afternoon with some old high school friends. Apparently they have not seen each other for almost thirty years. Cyndy suggested they visit the island and here they are.

By evening the sun was out and we had a nice sunset. The weather guy is predicting a heat wave for the next few days. Temps are supposed to be in the nineties with low humidity. That will be something new for us.
