This day has been very busy and happy day here at the Märket lighthouse. When we woke up today it was beautiful sunshine, sea was calm, wind maybe 2-3 m/s.

We had today Märket activist Ville Holmberg and his family and a motor expert Bror Humell from mainland Åland visiting us. Also boys from the Enskär coastguard visited us. We invited them for a cup of coffee.

Ville and Bror checked the engine room and it's condition. We explored the attic with them. There is a lot of treasures for museum people to investigate.

One of the last lighthouse keepers (before us) was Roland Karlberg who still lives in Hammarland. We heard that he is very handy and we saw in the attic some wooden artefacts made by him. He made 2-3 rowing boats while he was on the island.

The whole furniture here in the lighthouse is part of its history and worth saving. They are very important because they tell their own story about the history of the lighthouse. And now they are going to have second life.

One of the modern lighthouse keepers, Kikka, spend day filming everything possible, among others she interviewed us the "lighthouse keepers" and filmed the explore tour to the attic. She is making TV document about opening the Märket lighthouse. She was little bit sad because she had to leave today, but she got exellent material about our unique experience here on Märket.

Seals left their home rock when the guests arrived around 11 o'clock and disappeared for the whole day. Something important happened today: the flag of the Finnish Lighthouse Society is now on!
