Morning was clear, wind had dropped to 9 meters/sec from yesterday. In gust it was more and it looked like we would stay here just us today too. Humidity percentage of the air is really high, even 99%. Early in the morning before sunrise cliffs were dark and damp of dew like it had rained heavily in the night. During the day blue sky was covered by thin veil of clouds. That made the weather actually nice to work outside. Work continued on the wall. Leena did quite a puzzle to fill in the holes with smaller stones. Jukkis and Jouni where cleaning old mortar from joints away. Today seals showed up and delighted our workers on breakwave on northern side with their singing. Perhaps they are happy too because the sea is not that rough anymore.

Direction of the wind changed from south to south-west and at the calm moment between we got the most beatiful boat from Naantali in to our harbour; it is built according the traditional way - Storbåt as it is called, was typically used as a gargo boat in archipelago for any bigger goods like cows, sheeps, building material and for the trips to the market in big cities like Stockholm, Helsinki and Turku. We had four lovely people and a dog for awhile as our guests here.


Guests from Naantali

Heini has still been in the room downstairs, doing her dusty and dirty work with cleaning the ceiling and stormwindows from thick rost. Watertank was moved away from the helicopter landing area. Pile of firewood is growing, thanks to Eliisa.

Watertank men

Earlier today when working on the northern side harbour, the arm of the sledge hammer got broken and the hammer part dropped - of course - to the sea. It sank in to the water in three meters depth, but it's still visible laying in the bottom there. Riitta, experienced winter bather, did great tries when diving it up, but so far it still lies there.


Coffee break

Later on smooth clouds disappeared and evening was nice and warm. We know whole Finland has been sweating but here weather has been more like fresh. But this evening will continue as hot - campsauna is getting ready soon! And good to get Heini cleaned too..
