At sea: As the Ancient Mariner told us in high school, the ocean is the great thirst paradox: �Water, water, everywhere / Nor any drop to drink.� Try
drinking the salt water and you will become violently ill. Instead, try to catch a fish. A huge percentage of a fish�s body is fresh water�just cut
into bite-size pieces and chew �em like gum, then use the chewed-up bits to attract seabirds. Drinking the blood of one of these, though unspeakably
gross, can keep you alive until the rescue boat comes.
