Default We didn't Use It

Please explain to the group why and how a BBQ grill would be of use
for a 2:00 am entrance to Port Jeff.

1) To heat up the cover on the compass which was stuck on.
2) To start a small contained signal fire.
3) Underside of lid can be used to create large reflective signal
surface ICW small flashlight

Sadly, we deemed the entrance unworthy of such measures. The charts
were enough. But the Radar was powered up and on standby and I had
Spock on the com the whole time in case I needed a beam-up!


But, in the end, it was easier to scuttle the boat and paddle in on the
liferaft?
