Staying up a little longer last night everyone had more or less trouble waking up for the eight o’clock breakfast, prepared to us by Anna and Kristiina. Wind had eased down since yesterday so we were greeted by a calm and sunny morning.

Work continued straight after breakfast. Anne and Kristiina continued tearing off the old plaster from the warehouse while the men were busy with the lighthouse. Kaj painted the iron windows again and the scaffoldings were moved to new walls. Now the painters are able to start working on the last sections of the walls.

...as well as Kristiina. The old plastering gets removed.

Anna, Nina and Tarja just had time to have their daily meeting after morning`s kitchen duties before the first and the last boat arrived, bringing in a family from Uusikaupunki. Our first Finnish speaking guests.

Everyone had their possibility to relax between the duties. Some just threw themselves on the cliffs for a while, others went swimming in the lagoon or in the sea.

The speciality of the evening were pancakes made with love by Anne. Splendid, aye...

``Nights in the lighthouse, are special to us. Wind in the corners, seals singing outside. Ships they are passing, sea has calmed down. Everyone in their sleeping bags, dreaming alone. Resting and sleeping, `till the new morning light...`` xoxo
