Boat sinks at sea. SURVIVAL QUESTION

[RECESS]

What did I win?

All the Mahi Mahi you can stab with a broken wine bottle!

AS the man in the movie said, "I think we need a bigger boat!"

Drink the wine, take a siesta. Leave the bottle in the sun, when you come to, the glass will be hot. Drip cold water on it and it will crack. Maybe

Tropics? Maybe a coconut floats by the raft. Its the tropics maybe you'll float near land - problem solved. Maybe you can swim to the bottom, retrieve a piece of coral to smash the bottle upon.

Ok really out on a limb? the raft has a tether or some other length of double braided dacron/polyester line? fashion a tourniquet with a single wrap of line around the bottle. The subsequent pressure would (hopefully) break the bottle. Now... what to use as a lever...

The key to survival at sea is fresh water. Best source of fressh water at sea is rain. Best way to gaurantee rain is to open a can of varnish. Therefore, always carry a can of varnish in your life raft or ditch bag.
