Seguin Island.

Approaching Sequin. The light is the highest in Maine at 186 feet above sea level. Most of that height is the island it sits on.




Inside the harbor. There is no dock. Visitor moor in the cove and dinghy to shore. The building on the shore used to hold the Coast Guard's lifesaving boat. The building behind it holds the engine for the tramway that carries material up the hill.



This is the railway that the Coast Guard used to launch its boat.




Once ashore, the scene could be up in the mountains far from the coast. This is the tramway from the bottom.




From most of the island, the anchorage is not visible, which makes me nervous sitting on a mooring I don't know. This was the last spot we could see the boat.




About a quarter-mile later, the light becomes visible.



Outside the lightkeeper's quarters.



Thereafter, we ran into the light keeper, who took us up in the light, and we had such a good time I forgot about the camera . . .

If you're cruising Maine, make the trip to Seguin, its worth it.

Thanks Buzz! But - the season's not too short, it fits perfectly before hiking season and after skiing season. Maine rocks!

Rick - any race you want. I'll let you know what's up next.
