10 things you'll bring stranded on a boat and why

1. WATER SUPPLY

This is step zero. Honestly, it’s so obvious that we shouldn’t be taking the time to type these words. But we’re going to anyway. ALWAYS HAVE AN EMERGENCY SUPPLY OF WATER ON BOARD. You never know when an emergency may come up, and if being stranded isn’t an emergency, we don’t know what is (P.S. You can’t drink the salt water).

An unwelcome and expensive citation is what awaits the boater who forgets to check the expiration dates on his or her flares. Photo courtesy of Orion

Having a flare gun onboard can make you or break you during an emergency situation—not to mention, it can also prevent you from receiving a citation. Photo Courtesy: Orion

2. FLARE GUN

Do you remember that scene from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia when Charlie shoots himself with a flare gun? Yeah, don’t do that. Using a flare gun can be the difference between life and death. This flag-down technique is helpful during both night and day and can catch someone's attention up to 25 miles away. Just make sure you actually use it outdoors and point it upwards, unlike Charlie.

3. VHF MARINE RADIO

No, this one’s not for the tunes. You’ll use this radio for something a little different. You know, to arrange a rescue? If you’re not too far away from civilization, someone will hear your distress call and contact authorities. Even though it would be cooler to be rescued by a booze cruise, take what you can get. Trust us. Oh, and you might want to learn how to use your VHF radio just in case.

In most boating situations—including emergency situations—the VHF radio is your fastest, most reliable form of communications.

4. A FRIEND

You’re bound to lose your mind without somebody there to keep you company. A trusty companion will help keep your mind occupied while you try and find your salvation—even if it’s just a volleyball with a smiling handprint on it, a la Tom Hanks in Castaway.

5. A STRING QUARTET

Anybody who’s seen the movie Titanic knows that upon learning that their ship was sinking, passengers weren’t exactly pleased. To try and combat the ensuing panic, a Victorian string quartet stayed on deck and played their upbeat tunes right until the boat went under. We’re not saying everyone’s got a group of tuxedo-clad men on standby waiting to play some calming Beethoven, but if there’s one aboard your ship, it couldn’t hurt.

6. A FISHING POLE

Rather than withering in anguish and hunger for days on end (and eventually resorting to cannibalism and eating your shipmate), we suggest a more ethically sound alternative: fishing! Hopefully you’ve got your rods and lures stowed away if you’re a seasoned fisherman, but otherwise, you might have to fashion your own spear from scattered debris and miscellaneous materials. Don’t complain, everyone else in the movies has had to do the same exact thing. Just work on that aim and before you know it: sashimi time!

If you're stranded out in open waters, you better hope that the fish are biting!

7. SPEAKERS

If your boat isn’t equipped with marine stereo speakers (or a string quartet), you bought the wrong boat—but that’s a rant for another time. While you’re sipping on your spare water waiting for a flyby to wave down, put on some Zac Brown Band and kick back. It’ll make the time pass by faster and let you practice your air banjo skills. Also, if the music is coming from an FM radio station, you’re close to land! If it’s from an MP3 device, you’re out of luck.

8. DECK OF CARDS

After those initial stages of panic and desperation, you’re gonna get bored—really, really bored. If you’re trying to make the most of your marooned experience, having a deck of cards to pass the time is a great investment. A game of charades will get old after a while, and you’ll want to make sure to keep the entertainment going so you and your shipmate don’t end up at each other’s throats. Go fish, anyone?

When it comes to having the right survival items onboard, it's best to prepare for the worst—better safe than sorry, right?

9. DIARY

Let’s be honest: help may take a while. This means it’s just you and your thoughts—so, document them! Once you’re rescued, take a look at what you wrote. You may be shocked at its darkness or lack of sense, but it will be a story of pure perseverance and survival.

10. POSITIVE ATTITUDE

Try as best you can to turn your Open Water nightmare into more of a Gilligan’s Island splash bash! Mindset is everything in these types of dire situations, and if you’re planning on making it out alive, you better stay optimistic. Keep your head in the game and try not to lose sight of your sanity. Help is on the way!

Which words in the sentence make up the appositive phrase?
Hitman42 [59]
I believe it is Star Wars, because you are adding on that you are watching that particular movie. The sentence would have been fine if you kept it its original way without the ",Star Wars." (We are watching one of my brothers favorite movies).

Read the excerpt from Act II of The Importance of Being Earnest.
Verizon [17]
It causes the reader to think that Cecily is a quick-witted person. Cecily was able to respond quickly with a counter argument, but that doesn’t mean that Cecily dislikes Algernon, that Algernon is funny or that Algernon is confused. (Algernon definitely isn’t confused since he was making a statement of how Cecily was his little cousin...meaning younger.)
