All Adrift
You and three friends are crewing a small yacht on a sailing holiday. Following
an accident in the galley, the boat catches fire and you have to abandon ship.
You all quickly don life jackets and try to send out an SOS message, giving
your position about 150 miles off the west coast of France. Unfortunately, you
are not sure if the message will get through as fire has already reached some of
the equipment.
The weather is fine and clear with an easterly wind blowing at about 10 knots.
The fire spreads quickly and you launch a small open dinghy big enough to take
you all. There is little time to deliberate on what to take – but you grab the
nearest items to hand. Here is a list of the items.
Fishing Tackle (line & hook)
Oars for the Dinghy
Plastic Sheeting (large)
Plastic Bucket
Gallon of Water
Knife
Chart & Compass
Rope
Radio/Cassette Player
First Aid Kit
Bottle of Brandy
Tinned Food
Camera with Flash
Blanket
Your task is to choose ten key items and rank them in what you consider to be
the correct order of importance, starting with the most important.
