Thought you might enjoy this "change of shift"  My understanding is that the lighthouse is now fully automated, taking all the fun out of life!

Nowadays, you need to spend big money on a ticket at an amusement park to get a thrill like that.  ;D

Didn't seem to be any tense moments there, my guess is they've done the shift change many, many times!

Interesting video, thanks for posting!

Thanks for sharing this!  Amazing stuff going on all over this world.
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

  Just a few (40) years ago I'd have been willing to try that.

Brings up the question, now that the lighthouse is unmanned, how does the repairman or maintenance man/woman get on and off board?
Helicopter maybe? Or just wait until the sea is calm... if ever?
