- [Man] I knew a few light keepers when there were all kinds

My father-in-law was a lighthouse keeper on Brier Island.

They started closing them up, closing them up,

but I think this one was offered to a few people.

Well, I get up a-quarter-to-two in the morning.

Nice thing about here is, you step out of bed,

Halifax coastguard radio, Halifax coastguard radio,

this is Machias Seal Island, Machias Seal Island,

There's always something to keep you busy,

but you don't have a timetable saying you have to get up

this morning and do this, or you have to do that,

so you pretty well pick and choose what you wanna do,

when you can handle what it is you're doing.

of being the keeper of the light out here,

as opposed to just the mechanical systems that are on it.

You're only bored out here if you wanna be bored out here.

there's always something different going on.

and if it wasn't for the  houses and stuff here,

you'd think it's the same as it was 10 million years ago.

The thrill of being out here in a storm is nice.

I think one of the nicest things is you come out here,

and you just kinda escape from reality for a while.
