The fact is most of you here never leave the sight of

land
because your
boats are not steel and so seaworthy as to be near
unsinkable, so let's
pretend.

You are on a Disney cruise ship, the SS Mickey Mouse

hits
an iceberg
and sinks.

Luckly you, clawed your way aboard one of the

lifeboats.
Now you must take command and and navigate your boat

back
to land.

Robert fumbled aboard and crushed the only sextant
flatter than a
pancake.

The only watch you have is a Rolex bought from a NYer

and
as soon as
it hit... water it shorted out and stopped

functioning.

You have the typical items found in a lifeboat, minus

the
compass(stolen from all the lifeboats by a rum soaked
Canook) how do
you figure out where you are, and were you need to go?

I'd turn on the GPS.


Sorry....Suzy had it ..and a beer buzz....... it fell

overboard.

Then I'd activate the EPIRB in the lifeboat.


Suzy saw it, thought it was an empty... tossed it searching for a
un-opened 6 pack of epirbs.

What now?

Joe
