This morning we could finally put the flag back up after the hard wind. It was a fine ceremony. Weather has been excellent; blue sky, still winding about 7 m/s. No seals have been seen today.

The flag is back!

Today's highlight was this: Märket had the first 'official' visitors! We were at that moment in the middle astanga-yoga-practice when we suddenly noticed that there were five men walking on a rock in front of us. They told us that they were from Sweden and here for diving.



The divers had a big boat. All together there were ten divers who visited Märket today. Most of them were here on the island for the first time.

They did'nt have any money with them, but we were so confused and happy about the Märkets first visitors that we let them see the lighthouse for free (it costs 5 € by the way) - for the first and last time! It was nice to show the lighthouse and what we have done here during this week. Visitors were surprised that the lighthouse was open and they could take a look at it. Lighthouse has a new life now.

We also learned something: we must remember that lighthouse keepers one very important task is to collect money from the visitors. It all goes to this project: saving the Märket.

Otherwise this day has been ordinary and fine day. We have been cutting wood, boiling water in a pot, organized some little things inside.
We are not planning to begin any bigger projects because we have to leave tomorrow. Anyway, we are doing little things all the time, and the point is to fix the lighthouse step by step.

P.S. Our friends left us a grill sausage to the grill when they were here on thursday. We were very happy to find it, because we didn't have anything else than potatoes to grill! Thank you Ville & Tiina!
