Last night we had to stay up really late because of severe problems with sending the daily report and pictures. For a moment we even considered to put the mail in a bottle and give it to the sea for delivery. This was perhaps an omen for the incoming storm.

At the breakfast time we noticed that the waves had grown bigger. After the porridge we went out to take some pictures. Some shots were taken in Sweden and some in Finland. Then we rushed to our daily work tasks.

While the others had a break in the kitchen the first day life saver was still slaving with cleaning up bricks and dust.

After the lunch the door master and his assistant started to make the new doorframes for the new doorway. At the same time the ladies started to prepare the old door for painting. They had to make an effort to get all rust and dirt away. The door master had to put a small piece of new steel plate on the door.

Working, despite the weather

At dinner time the strong wind had strengthened further. For the dinner we had pancakes with strawberry and rasberry jam. The cook had some difficulties to get the eager workers to come inside to eat.
