Why are sailors the only ones to come up with the correct answers to:

What three things would you take with you on a deserted island?

Whats the correct answer? Is there a correct answer? My answer would be: Beer, toaster oven, boat.

The obvious one is the boat. When you get sick of being there, sail away.

My others are;

2. GPS (gotta know which way to go when you get tired of sailing every day, hmmm, maybe make that a solar powered unit, I'm afraid batteries would be quite old).

3. the dog... or no wait...the wife (aw, she doesn't read this forum) and the dog has a great nose for food.

What are your #2 and #3 :idea:

1. My Hobie 14t

2. Rum, lots of rum

3. Someone who looks like Keira Knightly but won't throw away the rum.

All of this would go along well with the Jolly Roger flag that I fly from my shroud.

The wrinkles are because she's pointing too high and luffing the main, see the untouched photo below.

You know I've noticed that that type of bathing attire never goes out of fashion.

Thirty years later it still looks new...
