The Truck broke down

The Truck broke down, originally uploaded by powersdale.

The truck got stuck in reverse. Probably something wrong with the linkage. Some students walked about 1.5 miles to the beach. Two students and I hiked back up the road to get help and were offered took rides to a pub. There we were not able to make contact with the Research Center by either telephone or shortwave radio. Phone systems etc don't necessarily work well on the island. (The electricity was off on Sunday for 4 hours also.) Adam Breslin was able to get a ride back to the Center and help was sent in the form of a truck for the students plus a repairman for the broken down truck.

The two students and I were finally retrieved from the pub where we had played dominos. (We were practicing because the locals take this game very seriously.)
