Yesterday was our day off of the Island, when we spend the day in Bath provisioning for the week ahead, picking up our clean laundry, and maybe grabbing a treat (or two). On Seguin, FOSILS volunteers work on long term maintenance and improvement projects on the historic buildings. This week, our Wednesday Warriors tackled new windows for the dormer in the keepers quarters.
During one of the many winter storms on the Maine coast, one of the dormer windows blew in, providing an irresistible nesting spot for some of the local seabirds. Combining years of experience, volunteers Chris and Tom removed the existing and broken windows, prepped and painted the new sashes, and completed the installation in plenty of time to catch the 4:30 boat back to the mainland. All in a day’s work!
If you’re looking to get a little time on Seguin, take a special tour of the lighthouse, get access to the outbuildings on the island, and help keep one of our most important historical and cultural places standing proud, consider joining the Wednesday Warriors. Email keeper@seguinisland.org and meet us at the docks!
