Some use rent cars to scout out sites. Others attend the pre-eclipse briefing and simulation. David Oro reconfirms everyone on the ALM flight departing on Saturday. At least six persons need rent cars and none are available. In desparation, the hotel puts out a call on the local radio station for anyone with cars to rent to phone in.
Calls come in and all but one person is able to rent a car the day before the eclipse.
Everyone, however, does have transport to the eclipse site. Lynn Palmer and myself go out to meet the ship and our other group. Thursday is eclipse day. A dismal mood prevails. Two buses leave for Westpunkt, the official site at the northwest tip of the island.
