Lost at sea

[Rab]

Look to see which way the sun was setting/rising and then after I get where North/South/East/West is at, then I go back to where I was.

assuming you have no idea where you are

[Pandagirl!]

Well I expect I'd be useless in the face of danger. So I would cross my fingers and hope I float in the right direction. If not, screw it, I'm dead.

[Ilya]

impregnate the monkeys and start an army of monkeymen to conquer other islands and eventually the world.

[Rudy]

Then the world exploded,
the end.

That's not how the song goes <_<

I would have my gps with me if I was ever on open water. then I would use my watch to reflect a certain wavelength of sunlight onto the water, and by means of e=mc2 it will transmtutate into a temporary unstable radioactive isotope which will inturn react with the ultra fine crystalline carbonate in the air creating a dimensional shift in the space time continuum (haha) where I will be transported along with eveything within a 1 mile radius into a semi-random place in outerspace, the matter transmitted during the jump with me will react with the anti-matter in the general vicinity sending me into a sub-dimension where the laws of physic have been altered due to corrosion of the fabric of time, then I will use telekinesis with the other 90% of my brain to accelerate an object at the approximate speed needed to time travel (88mph), sucsesfully causing all of the 3rd dimension to be temporarily moved into my sub-dimension, then I will use my temporary telekenesis due to the alteration of the laws of physics to transport myself to my house inside the sub-dimension when the stability of the sub dimension will dissipate due to the electr-weak forces of all the new matter I had warped, which will inturn send the 3rd dimension back to its original place along with me (in my house).

i didnt read any of that

Whip out my cell phone, pick it apart and while using parts from it and some finely whittled coconuts I would make a motor strong enough to move the entire island. I would then take a couple of trees, fashion them into an anamatronic thingy of some kind so it could steer the boat-island while I take some sand, finely shiv it into the phone shell so it can run Prodigy on a wifi line(more coconuts) and download Continuum so I can continue playing on my way home. ^-^

This sounds more probable than the other "use the sun" solutions. I'm not exaggerating, nor am I being sarcastic.

:fear:

In all honesty, I'm sure I'd try the sun thing too, but finding the cardinal directions would prove tedious. Because you're floating, you may be drifting in a direction and at a rate which you can't discover;you can't use the sun to find the directions this way.

Actually, you could make like the old sailors and sail by star navigation. I guess now's a good time to get started on learning.

If there wasn't anything to hold onto, it was extremely far away, and there were sharks, I'd drown myself.

[project dragon]

I would fly back home.

vroooooooosh!

Drowning is a painful way to go :/.

Drowning is a painful way to go :/.

I'd rather drown myself purposely than drown because my muscles completely give out and I suck in too much water or because I'm being killed by sea wildlife.

[Rab]

i was thinking along the lines of using types of wildlife to figure out where i am, then use the sun. but considering i know fuck all about wildlife...

[Superted]

I think I'd rather drown than be eaten aswell, but it's a sin to kill oneself, so I'd be pretty buggered if there was sharks.

All I know is that there aren't sharks in rivers

uhhh

And there aren't any/many great whites in the Pacific. If I landed in the Pacific, I might figure out where I was.

If I didn't know what body of water I was in the sun wouldn't really help me except to distinguish if it was night or day, which would be pretty obvious, and I don't really know the difference between animals in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, etc. If I saw polar bears I'd figure it out that I was somewhere in the arctic region, but if I saw some fish hell if I'd figure out where they were from.

Soo apparently if I landed in just about any body of water somewhere I'd be screwed.

I don't think so.
