Today we had many workers on the island. Architect Tapio Rönkönharju came yesterday evening and later at night arrived Emanuel, who wanted to return to Sweden with his kayak. Because of the bad weather he had to stay here and help us all day. And now it seems that he has to stay here all week. Storm is rising around the lighthouse. But it is not so bad, we have enough food and a lot of work.


Emanuel from Sweden was helping us in the plastering duty


Rising storm reduces comforts of the tent slightly

Tomorrow a group of new lighthousekeepers will arrive on Märket if the weather is not too bad. We also hope that Yvonne and Mats can take some of us back to Åland tomorrow morning.


Having a pleasant cup of coffee in between the duties

As a whole, the week has been great. It's been a pleasure to be a part of this interesting and important project. Hope to see you soon again, Märket!
