Good weather in the morning, worse during the day and better again in the evening. Waiting for the 21.00 communication with the Polish station and their plans. In the meantime a brown fox came to Hyttevika, entertaining us with running around us, looking curious, jumping scared away, coming back. Unfortunately, the light wasn’t ideal for photography, but this is fun. Checking the images on the computer it is obvious that it is the same fox as at Werenhus. Maybe it’s social and got bored over there after the people left the house.

Now we got the message from the station that they presently start a trip to Hyttevika, to bring us an engine and then go on to Werenhus to set up a hydrological station. We don’t know what they plan for their return, but we probably leave very early tomorrow morning. The night is now to dark for navigation. Just hope the weather will be with us. Right now the wind is increasing…
