I seem to remember the castaways doing something to recharge the batteries.
Didn't the professor have something where they used coconuts or something?

And you're assumption that they were thousands of miles away might not be
right. Look at the evidence:

-- they had a plain, vanilla AM radio
-- stations came in clear as a bell

Maybe they were only stranded 50 or 100 miles away from Oahu!

Remember it WAS just a "3 hour tour"
