“One thing that I didn't anticipate was that on a remote island you only have what you have. I can try to order things...but they may never show up. If they do make it, it may take a month or a year-- and in the meantime you need to come up with another way to get from point A to B. Eventually you meet the engineers and builders who together endure this same fate and accomplish amazing things with the limited resources available. This is the incredible spirit of ingenuity that carries humans forward through time”.
Evan Venaas
