Yesterday´s arrival here was exciting for a newcomer (yes, we are here both for the first time). Mats drove us first to the buoy and then nearer to old harbour. Pasi rowed the dingle from the harbour half way, took the other of us to the lighthouse, showed places and then we rowed him to Mats´ boat. Great ten days job Pasi did!

Raimo rowed back to harbour in the darkening evening and was stuck on the underneath cliff in the harbour! No problem!

We started our shift by putting fire to the fireplaces and looking around the places. Then a good long sleep!

The view was new for us in the morning. We moved the dishwash place a
bit, put fire to get hot water, made lunch and cleaned places. The Swedish navy then offered us a nice show when they manouvered two war ships in front of Märket somewhere halfway to Understen. Maybe that was part of the international training operation they had near Pori, Finland.

Fishing was impossible, so we have to wait or the coming days. SW wind was maybe 10 m/s. Cloudy, 13 degrees.

Rest of the day we had to fight with the IT, that means the internet connection. It just didn´t work, but we are hopeful that we can get even
todays photos to internet, so wait for that.

We didn´t see any humans today, but some very small birds let us very
close. The only seals we saw were some 30 ones Mats showed us yesterday on Norra Sankan on the way here.
