What a busy day! We had three early boats with work crew and docents, followed by four boat landings carrying 24 people from the Council on Aging. They were a wonderfulgroup, and most seemed to love the island. Manyclimbed the tower, and there were plenty of purchases. Seth made a quick touch-and-go delivery with parts for the plumbers. With Thacher I already atthe dock, several of us watched nervously as Scotty and Sebastian went behind the boat at the very bottom of the dock. Peg handed the package to Scotty without a hitch. Watch out,Amazon! The work crew replaced boards on the tramway. Jane painted the wheels on the tramway cart. Lee worked on the small John Deere and the small wheelhorse. And the plumbers worked on replacing the purification system. The plumbers worked until 3, which left Seth waiting at the dock. Seth and the crew and Scotty went out to check the traps, but all traps were empty – even after being baited just yesterday. The plumbers left at 3. Just when we thought we could rest, 6 kayakers from North Shore came ashore – signed waivers and began their tour. Their guide, Aiden was very congenial – no problem signing the waiver. Syd brought out a new, thicker coating to test on the ramp boards, and we’ll try them out this week after they have dried. 8 kayakers came ashore to camp – 4 adults and 4 children (although one adult paddleboarder will go back tonight). The children in this group ran all over the island – it was nice hearing their shouts and laughter. At 6:00, Gail met 2 more campers that had come ashore – a father and son.
