On a recent Sunday, I received a call from a colleague who had managed to get his car stuck in the mud on the way to a secluded beach. I rallied to help him and threw some boards and various lengths of thick rope in the back of Subi and headed out. By the time I arrived, six or seven Antiguans were in the process of lifting the back end of the stuck car onto firmer ground. The pulling power of Subi in low 4 wheel drive and the pushing power of, by that time, eight or nine helpful Antiguans was what was needed to get the car out of the greasy, clay-covered and deeply rutted road. With the car finally freed, we all shared smiles and thanks and continued our days, albeit, with greasy, muddy clay splashed over our clothes.
