July 26 – Team 6 heads out / Team 5 is a wrap! – Fox Island Lighthouse Association

Team 6 cleared Leland harbor at 8 this morning, taking advantage of flat conditions for today’s team turnover.

Kathy Sanders, Mark Lee, and newbie Brett Neulsen make another great team.

Knowing they had an early boat, Team 5 (Barb, Marty & Tom) packed up gear, cleaned quarters for the incoming team, stowed remaining equipment AND removed the protective paper from the newly installed panels in the 1867 lantern room.

Marty does the “reveal”.

Barb posted a video of the lantern room on her personal facebook page, with Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t she lovely” playing. Perfect!

Captain Geoff requested a quick turnaround as algae in the landing area can cause the engines to overheat, so there wasn’t much time to take photos. Here’s one as they headed off. If you look closely, you can see that the lantern room has clear panels all around.
