Sunday, September 20

I purposely waited a week or so before making my last blog entry. I wanted enough time to digest what we had accomplished the last few months. I can easily say that our time on Seguin was a life experience. Brenda and I enjoyed every minute, even the fog and rainy days.

As I have mentioned before, the people we met and friends we made were a significant part of our experience. Here are a few names that stand out. Dave and Linda Power, Cyndy, Dee, Connie, Captain Ethan, Duane, Dave and Tracy Percy, Postmaster Bob, Brent, the Denkers, Jim, Mr. Sterling, Lawrence, Ken, the owners of the Bath Sweet Shoppe, Jenny at CVS Pharmacy, all the FOSI folks at the annual meeting, many island guests, boat people, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Outward Bound folks, Roger’s Hardware associates, Schooner Virginia passengers and crew and many more. I almost did not want to name people because I will always leave someone out. Please don’t be offended if I did. Everyone we met was great. We had a lot of support from everyone!

While people make the difference, the location wasn’t bad either! We awoke every day to hear the surf pounding the rocky shore, the gulls laughing, the wind blowing and the spectacular Maine shoreline. We saw all types of boats, big and small, power and sail, old and new.

Today is our fortieth anniversary. I was blessed to share the time on Seguin with Brenda. We look forward to future adventures, a return to Maine and….who knows? Keep the light on for us!
