What if # 3
The Boat: Beneteau 39
Conditions: Winds steady at around 13 knots, seas 3-4 feet.
While sitting at anchor, off a small desserted island, you hear a loud
CRUNCH!!! You look to starboard and spot a 18 foot Great White shark moving off
slowly. You glance below and are horrified to see that there is a 9 inch hole
at the waterliine with water rushing in. The shark has rammed your boat! You
run below and begin to stuff the hole, but water is still coming through fast.
You'll need to rig an external patch. You radio your situation, but help is two
hours away. Back on deck, you quickly spot the large shark fin circling the
boat. You remember reading that the Great White is the smartest shark and
shudder. He's waiting for his meal!!!
What do you do???
