Jewell Island - Anchorage
Well, today was our first complete rain out since we've been in Maine. We've had a little fog and even a little rain, but neither lasted all day and we were able to do something...not today. We sat on the boat watching it rain all day! I gave some thought about going ashore and walking the beach in the rain, but it was coming down too hard most of the day to even give that idea serious thought. Instead I watched reruns of rerun movies we have on DVD, played sudoku and messed with my photos.
We've seen 73 lighthouses this season and I finally have them added to my lighthouse album online. I guess rainy days are good for some things. You can check them out here.
The Light
by Hattie Vose Hall
I am the light,
holding
Nightly my torch on
high;
Under me surge the
waters,
Over me bends the
sky.
Year after year I
stand here
Holding my steady
light,
Sending its ray of
comfort
Into the darkest
night.
Many a man has served
me,
Tending the Light
with care,
Many a vanished
footstep
Passed by my winding
stair.
Years pass and men
pass with them,
Never my light grows
dim,
One hands the torch
to another,
Others will follow
him.
So are the centuries
moving,
Still serving men am
I,
Constant through
gales of winter
Calm beneath summers
sky.
Lights are the hope
of seamen,
Warning of rock and
shoal,
We are the
danger-stations,
We are the
sea-patrol!
