New Race Point Lighthouse Keeper

Well I have to say I am very proud of my wife this Saturday she will be going to training to be a Keeper, this is great for her. She is the nicest person I have ever met.

Wow....congrats!

Make sure she has great day and night optics and you`ll get some sweet reports I`d bet.

Good health and family

That's great news, Bob. Please pass on my congratulations to Julie. I'm sure we will be seeing some fantastic photos from the race.

I believe it is two weeks a year, but I don't know, and basically take care of house while the guests are there, and then (still not sure) we get a couple of days to say with friends and family there. The job is a volinteer thing so it will just give me more time to fish. I will pass on all the well wishes, thanks

I have a good feeling I will be there at least 4 to 5 weeks this year
I will be at Block Island the 18th to the 25th of June so I am going to miss one of the legs if they pick the 24th. but if thats the RI date I am golden. I told my boss last week all the days I need off and I think he crapped himself. well lets just say he wasn't very happy and told me summer fishing was canceled, I said I am packing my tools and going home now and I will see you at the end of October.

Tattoobob, given that Julies passion is her pictures and you, do you think she would consider setting up a web cam of the race that we can log onto? This could be huge.

That would be great the only thing is there is no intenet access at the Race hardly any cell service to. and no TV either.

I have Nextel and the service sucks big time, They need to do something because I can't even have service at my house in Billerica, there are so many dead zones it isn't funny. if it wasn't free from my work I would get Verison.

I just got back from the Cape, I dropped my wife off for lighthouse training and I headed to Race Point to get my ORV permit. I was quite surprised by the No Line at all at 9:30 on a Saturday, I got it no problems. I drove back to Lighthouse training and sat in on the whole thing. I found out that I am now a volenteer also so I am also a keeper. I found out a lot of great stuff and that web cam may just happen with alot of other new stuff, the volenteer staff is mostly older folks with a weath of knowledge and I look forward to working and learning with/from them.

great news!


I am sure there will be plenty of pictures taken when time permits!

your wife may need another camera or memory stick or rechargable batteries... fair is fair!

the full moon looks orange sometimes when it rises because the light has to pass through more of the atmosphere then when the moon is higher in the sky. the blue light waves scatter but the red light waves pass through...... if you were wondering.

have fun with that

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

She needs lennes, she is going to do a movie for the ADA (American Disablities Act) so they don't have to change the buildings and everyone can enjoy the whole experience.
