Now that Labor Day is over, the campers have been few, so not much to do there. Both ferries still running every day, but less than half full. We've been helping out with office work and maintenance. Monia has been doing some filing - it seems to have gotten behind. (They say they are really short of staff, several open positions. Anyone want to live on Dry Tortugas for a while? We really recommend it!)
Starting today the regular bookstore operator is on her 4-day leave, so we're covering that. Lots of times people wander in for the air conditioning. We tell them they can stay 10 minutes for each thing they buy. Hasn't worked yet, but we'll keep trying, it might...
Last 2 days there have been several Coast Guard boats coming and going. We hear there are some training operations in progress, plus they are responsible for the lighthouse on Loggerhead Key.
There have been lots of swallows the last few days. Migrating somewhere, this is a rest stop. Hope to get some pictures, but they're always zooming around. Sooner or later they have to land, maybe then.
Not much fishing activity at the moment. All the bait fish has left the dock, no one knows why. I made a really cool bait bucket out of trash I found on the beach. Now all I need is bait.
More later.
