Rescue of the rock processor
Already on Sunday evening the rescue of the rock processor was commenced. A heavy wrecker and two crane trucks arrived with Sanna and the work to rig for a lift started immediately with excavation of a working surface using a excavator. Then, the cranes were rigged and around 11 pm it was ready for the first manoeuvre to get the rock processor back on feet. The wrecker had connected tow wires to the processor and the cranes lifted and slowly put the processor back on feet. Then the setting was re-rigged to lift the processor straight up so the trailer could back in underneath. The the cranes put the processor down on the trailer.  The work was carried out long into the night before it was completed.

Seal season begins

During late winter, seal females leave their offspring (seal pups) alone on the ice to take care of themselves. The pups have a thick fat layer and can last for week without food. Instinctively they crawl southwards. Nothing will stop them, not the ferry, nor land. Sometimes, like this morning, they pass the track at the same time as the ferry that has to give way. The "right-rule" also apply at sea. Some times you can find pups in the fields on the island or in the forest. In the summer you can see seals in the waters around Stora Fjäderägg and along the east side of Holmöarna.

We are pleased over the positive attitude to the project and for the agreements that were settled at the meeting. We recieve new signed contacts with the mail every day and we are of course pleased that so many already have decided to participate.

Now, when we have finalized the negotiations with the land owners, the project goes into a new phase. Slitevind will continue by inviting the whole village to consultation meetings by announcments on the Holmöportalen www.holmon.com, by advertisements in Västerbottenskuriren and on the pinboard at the shop. A first meeting will be held some time in May-June.

Winter conditions
Now we are approaching winter conditions again. The ferry is still running in its track and the sea ice is being formed. You can follow the development in the Ice report. The sea ice is close to 15 cm in average thickness and soon it will be thick enough to stake up an ice track - if someone decides to do so.

Norrland week with song festival
Thursday 5/2, Birgitta Fritzdotter called to a meeting on request from Johan Nyberg, who wished to meet and discuss future activities. Representatives from Holmöns Ungdomsgårdsorganisation (Youth association), Holmöns Hembygds- och Intresseförening (Folklore association), Holmöns Utvecklings forum (Development forum), Holmö Havsbad, Båtmuseets Vänner (Boat museum), Fyrvaktaren and the smak och tycke gruppen (taste and opinion group) från Holmön. Togehter a proposition was made:
Holmön with its unique surrounding and historical culture is commonly only known for the poor communications, beautiful nature and the song festival. With this project, we wish to create positivism and show that Holmön is so much more than above mentioned. We shall offer all visitors an experience of all that Holmön can offer. To be exposed and recognized, we came up with the concept "Norrlandsveckan med visfestivalen" (Norrland week with the song festival). This is amied to be an annual recurrent event that ends with the song festival.
The document with proposals for what this week can be comprised of is being developed but is still in its infancy. 
If you wish to participate in this project or if you have suggestions for activities during this week, send an e-mail to Johan Nyberg, e-mail: jn.nyberg@gmail.com
