Today was our last morning on the island. We spent the last week enjoying the relative solitude brought about by the post labor day storm, completing last minute projects and cleaning the buildings for the interim keepers.
We are spending the next few days at home in southern Maine before traveling out west for Maureen’s race. She will fly to Utah and begin running, I will drive with the dogs and hopefully meet her at the finish line in Grand Escalante National Monument. Post race we will caravan to our off grid cabin in Wonder Valley, CA.
Our experience on the island has been nothing short of magical. If there is anything I can say in leaving it is this… It is my sincere hope that someday you visit Seguin. I hope you feel the exhilaration of leaving the shore behind, and the sense of wonder upon arriving at the buildings nestled into the cove. I hope you hike each and every trail, and spend a while watching the waves break on the cliffs. I hope you climb the staircase to the top of the lighthouse and let the rainbows from the lens fall across your face. And mostly, I hope you grab fistfuls of sweet fern and inhale deeply, so that the scent of Maine travels with you for the rest of your days.
Thank you
Maureen and Matt
