Progress Report from Robbins Reef

September 15, 2022 by Megan Beck

Robbins Reef Trip Report, September 15, 2022

Noble Crew:
  Leslie Petosa and Erin Urban

Weather: A sparkling day, 70s

Access: Left Miller’s at 9:15 PM and returned at 11:15 PM on the Emily Miller captained by Dave Bowser.

Purpose of the trip: The purpose of the trip was to check on the lighthouse.

Tasks accomplished: The lighthouse is in excellent condition—light, tight, and bright after a thorough cleaning by the Crew on August 18. What a pleasure.

Next steps:  We will meet, weather permitting, at 2:45 PM at Miller’s in the coming weeks and to help and spot Gus Scott as he proceeds with the exterior painting.  If you can help paint, let Erin Urban know and she will get back to you about which weekday it will be.

On Thursdays, we will be working on finishing the kitchen door and installing the new Watch Gallery door. 

We also need help removing the linoleum glue from the floors and to remove the metal embedded in the promenade—while always performing husbandry to keep the interior of Kate’s Light in pristine condition.
