In Ruhnu, we are flexible because the weather controls our establishment a lot.
If there is a storm on the sea, no cargo, no people. So if we get people on the island, we must make the most of it. This is also what we expect from our volunteers. Sometimes you may spend a few days on the beach because there are no customers to attend. Other times we might have 3 days of fun madness. Customers who come with a private boat are usually fun people to hang around and get to know.
