Last night we got a surprise. Sun was about to set down when a boat came and moared in the north side of the island. It was a coast guard officer. In fact the same person that we had met allready last year in Märket. We cooked coffe and invited him for a cup with our guests Tiina and Mervi. And for our great surprise he had brought a self made cake with him!


A gentle coast guard brought a self-made cake!

We set ourselves on the prime seats by the the sea and the most beautiful red sunset and enjoyed the peaceful life in the middle of the sea. We found out that it was him who had been using the camera earlier. He bought us also fresh newspapers to read. How thoughtful!


Before dark our guest left and we digged in our sleeping bags. Mervi and Tiina decided to sleep in the room in first floor. The night had been quite cold for Mervi. But the sunsihe ine the morning melted the frozen bones. It was so calm that we went for a swim. Refreshing! We had a nice breakfast outside and heard very interesting stories of Tiina's experiences in Greenland with a photo project.

We set the big aggregate on to create some power for batteries of cameras and phones. One big Finnish boat with scuba divers came and anchored on the west side of the island. Several divers went under and the boat stayed on the coast for a long time but did't land.

We started our task in the basement. We took photos of the sauna and storages because all the rotten wooden structures will be teared off. Then we sorted out things that should be saved and trash. We found all kinds of interesting treasures. Then we carried out building material from the room in the first floor.

For supper we fixed grilled meat and fish, sallad and potatoes. The food keeps well fresh because inside of the lighthouse it is "fridgerator cold". By the evening the wind died again and a lonely seal landed on the south shore. It slept here and didn't get disturbed from us taking pictures.

Now we are expecting a group of visitors that should come here for an evening visit. The sun shines, sea is calm, ships keep passing by on the west side. It is phantastic. Like a dream. So beautiful. Four women and the lighthouse in a spectacular scenery.

Unbelievable.
