Wait for a shark to swim by and hole your boat, when it sinks , the water
will put the fire out.

The Boat: Tartan 37
Conditions: Light rain, broad reach in moderate air.

Well, you've managed to keep dry with your foulies, but some hot
chocolate
will
be welcome. You fire up the old alcohol stove and go back to the helm.
It
isn't
long before you see smoke pouring from the companionway. You manage to
get
below and it seems the fire has spread to the curtains and cushions with
shocking speed. You reach for the fire extinguisher and IT DOESN'T work.
The
liner is now starting to catch and the smoke is too much to stay below.
Your
boat is BURNING with alarming speed.
No Handheld or raft, no bucket handy and no one in sight.

What can you try???
