Whoops. Could you have not told me earlier?
A little update on me and Bob:
Since I was never informed (that is not until it was too late) to not light the boat on fire, when Bob's stove went out and he couldn't get it going again to roast our evening catch of fish, I decided to use the centre of the canoe as a campfire. Had the bonus of being warm. Anyways, everything went up in flames (including my beloved bagpipes), and we were floating in the Pacific with nothing but the clothes on our backs. An inquisitive shark came up - since there were no pipes being played to scare it off - and I had read somewhere about bopping it in the nose to scare it off. That seemed to do the trick. Luckily, we were quite near an island that we had passed a few miles back before the boat went up in flames. After a wee swim, we're now enjoying life on the beach - drinking coconut milk and carving a canoe from a palm tree
