Today we awoke to the final throes of Hurricane Debbie, but by noon the skies had cleared and it turned out to be a beautiful day on the island. At sea seemed to tell a different tale as we watched huge waves crashing on the rocks at Cobblestone Beach, and it must have been the surf that kept our visitors away. It’s unprecedented to have Seguin to ourselves on a gorgeous weekend day in August, but we are able to make the most of our time. In the morning we finished a deep clean on the museum and upstairs guest quarters in preparation for visiting Friends of Seguin. As the fog lifted and the rain subsided, we took to accessing any damage on the island from the unusually high winds we encountered last night. All of the trails seemed in fine shape, and we tested the blackberries to make sure they were equally unaffected by the storm. Don’t worry, they were just fine.
After checking the trails and taking an hour to mow the upper lawn, we headed out to the cove. We’ve been busy during August, and often there’s been a line of boats waiting to pickup a mooring, so we figured it would be a good idea to make sure all of the pickups and pendants were intact. We also stopped by the donation bin on the information board, which is where guests can leave cash for mooring usage if they don’t have enough cell service to donate by scanning the QR code with a smart phone.
We restocked the paper in the composting toilet, at which time the dogs informed us that it was time for D-I-N-N-E-R. A few games of cribbage ensued, which was a nice end to a nice day.
