One of our shared memories from our last trip to Seguin was watching the sunset from the bench on the west side of the island. This was in 2020, long before the idea of becoming caretakers ourselves had taken hold, but it is an experience we have come back to often. When we talk about Seguin we invariably mention the sunset bench, and that brings back a flood of other memories. We had our dog Maddie with us on that trip, when she was still young enough to swim in the ocean waves, before old age came and took her in her sleep. Later on that same trip, off the coast of Monhegan Island, Maureen swam in the deep part of the ocean for the first time. The boat that brought us to Seguin was the same that took us all the way from Maine to Key West.
When guests spend the night in the cove we always invite them to watch the sunset from the bench. Sometimes they take us up on the idea and we see them out our kitchen window, making new memories as the day ends. We had family visit us on the island today, and we introduced them to the same bench. The setting sun put on a particularly good show, and it was nice to see them enjoying the magic of Seguin from the bench on the west side of the island.
