Trapped at sea is probably the worst place for survival.

Survival Ocean

Are you talking about a lifeboat after the cruise ship sinks? Or a floatation cushion from the airliner? I think the best you could do is pray for deliverance! Almost any other ocean-going vessel would have some sort of supplies (and a radio) so you could survive for at least a while longer, depending on your shipmates.

there is nothing out on the ocean but fish. I guess the best ting to do is float on ur back and hope u run into something.

ONe of the most important things to remember is DON'T drink the sea water. If you do, you are a goner. It will make you "mad." You will get dehydrated that much faster and start imagining things and stuff.

To pray for rescue seems the only thing to do if you don't have a radio with you. And tenaheff is right, salt water makes you dehydrated much faster, because your kidneys will require much more water than what you've drunk to take all that salt away from your body.

EDITORIAL: LESSONS FROM A TSUNAMI

The tragic truth about the killer waves that struck southern Asia over the weekend is that they needn't have killed so many people. Tens of thousands died in places separated by more than 1,000 miles, yet many were only a couple of miles away from safety.

I think the Tsunami is one of the most incredible things in nature. It moves in the speed of an airplane, and looks like a solid wall blocking the horizon. Still, I would not like to be close enough to witness a Tsunami, since I will probably not survive. It has killed so far more than 118,000 people!

This may seem like a BASIC survival skill or should I say instinct - Don't stand up and look at a wall of water coming your way! You may think that is funny, but that is how a lot of people died in recent incidents - they just stood up and watched!
