Field Notes Dory Bell August 13, 1989 plunged the side with the feathered notes. As it was, it was hard enough to to steer the plane straight in. We crashed on the rocks, and then were on a rocky slope. We first piled out the passenger side, took ropes out to the 2 FAA guys waiting on shore. Sara went with me follow back to the compound. The pilot and I began the task of unloading the plane through the nose port. Quite difficult, getting gas & equipment out. We safely got everything off except for one outboard & the 3 propane tanks. Then we had to haul everything back up the beach to the landing strip. There were rumors that OAS (Office of Aviation Services) was sending out a plane this evening to pick us up. It took a while to get the gear up from the beach. We got everything squared away by 17:00. At 18:00 an Beechcraft Twin showed up - from OAS. The new pilot brought 2 winches and plenty of rope. We spent the next several hours winching the plane up with the incoming tide (we had landed at low tides). It was nearly dark when the plane was secured. It had been winched over 30ft. We then all fit in the Beechcraft (New pilot, Tom Blue, Brian, Sara & I), and took off about 22:45. Beautiful flight back, way over the clouds - clear sky - 3/4 moon + light horizon behind dark, jagged mountain peaks. Arrived in Ambroise in a. 1 hr - with all my gear & gulls. Slept at Scott Hatch's house.
