Another wonderful day

Our plan was to get out to the lighthouse before tours began, so we could see the new computer system (new to us, that is) and talk to the keepers, go over strategy (it is different every day, who am I kidding?), etc., but Ken and Barb had already begun the tours, since the tide would prevent the lighthouse from being open too long).
 Gorgeous morning


I feel like a new tourist every year; some things change, but this old sea captain has been here for awhile.

Cary is reading about dolos--
A dolos is a concrete block in a complex geometric shape weighing up to 20 tons, used in great numbers to protect harbour walls from the erosive force of ocean waves. They were developed in East London, a port city in South Africa, in 1963.*

We both got haircuts today, can't tell much here though! Just another nice day to sit outside and read.
