How to Survive Adrift at Sea
_______________________________________________________________________

1. Take whatever supplies you can--especially water.
   Many canned foods, particularly vegetables, are packed in water, so take those is you can.


2. Protect yourself from the elements.
   You are more likely to die of exposure or hypothermia than of anything else.


3. Find food, if you can.
   If your raft is floating for several weeks, seaweed will form on its underside and fish will naturally congregate in the shade beneath you.


4. If you see a plane or boat nearby, try to signal it.
