Atoll Way, the only supply ship for the  Southwest Islands, carried over 50 people on the voyage plus all the materials for the project. (Caspar Hende

The remnants of the concrete foundations of a house built on the island in the 1930s are now well offshore. (Caspar Henderson)

The solar panels are near the breakwater to maximize the power delivered to them. (Caspar Henderson)

The breakwater lies off the most rapidly eroding section of the island. (Caspar Henderson)

Breakwater at rising tide. (Caspar Henderson)

Making the final electrical connections had to be done at low tide, dry, and very carefully to avoid electrical shock. (Caspar Henderson)
