Years ago during a charter trip to the Bahamas, we hauled aboard a USCG
"rescue package" that included a long list of useful items, including a
small gas-powered pump. Unfortunately the crate leaked... understandable
considering it was dropped from a Lear jet with very small parachute
(which I still have BTW)... which meant we had to haul a box the size of
a kitchen table, 1/2 full of water, on board... *very* heavy!
Fortunately it was not an emergency so we did not have to hurry.


This sounds interesting. You called in the USCG (I had no idea they had
Lear jets) but it was not an emergency? Isn't it time you returned the
Lear jet and parachute?
