Horvath July 2nd 04 07:12 AM

Question #666
 
You're about 300 feet offshore, so it's too far to swim. You've got
Bob****'s boat and he was too cheap to put in gas, so you run out.
There's a slight breeze pushing you away from shore. You don't dare
take off the mainsail cover because the mainsail has long ago
disintergrated from lack of use, and you don't dare unfurl the jib for
the same reason.

The last time you checked the flares, they had expired in June 1981,
and were thrown out. You've got no oars or paddles, and the radio
doesn't work.

What do you do?

You can't swim a lousy 300 feet???? That's only 3 laps in a swimming pool.

Grab a mooring, call the CG on your $4800 handheld and demand they bring gas
to you.

Question #666
 
radio one of my so called friends to come out and bail me out of the
situation. Then post photos detailing how the boat rolled from a surfacing
sub where the main broke off and all the diesel leaked out from me banging
my thick skull against the tank. Describing how my boat survived a trip
around cape city island.

Sink the boat and climb the mast. It is important to stay with the boat!
