-Very pleasant, indeed, Anne Karin Braut comments. She is this years hostess at the lighthouse.
-Also, the weather has been with us this year as well. Luckily, only about ten per cent of the planned trips have been affected by unfortunate wind conditions. South-westerly wind directions is particulary problematic, making it difficult to access the dock on the island, she explains.
