Listen to this article:

If you find yourself lost at sea (#ad) in a life raft, it can be a terrifying and disorienting situation. But fear not! With a bit of knowledge and a lot of luck, you can survive long enough to be rescued. Here’s a satirical guide to kicking back and waiting for help with some tips on how to survive the ordeal.

First things first, make sure to ration your supplies. This means food, water, and, if the situation gets desperate, your own urine. That’s right, you may find yourself in a position where your own bodily fluids are the only thing that can keep you alive. So, drink up! It’s better than the alternative.

Next, start planning for a really long vacation. You’re stuck in a life raft with limited supplies, so you should start preparing for the long haul. This means keeping your spirits up, learning to fish, and, if you’re lucky, learning to sail your raft. Who knows, you may get to be the master of your own small ship.

Finally, make sure to stay visible. You’ll need to be seen in order to be rescued, so make sure to keep any bright colors or reflective materials on the raft. It’ll be your best bet for grabbing the attention of a passing ship. Also, try to keep a watch out for airplanes or helicopters – they may be your only chance to get spotted.

So, there you have it – a satirical guide to surviving being lost at sea in a life raft. With a bit of luck and a lot of patience, you’ll eventually be rescued. Just remember – don’t forget to drink your own pee!

Rationing supplies is a must. I've been lost at sea before and it was a matter of rationing my food and water in order to survive until I was rescued.

I disagree with the advice to drink your own urine. It's dangerous and can lead to serious health problems.

Learning to fish is a great idea. The ocean is full of life and you can use that to your advantage while you wait for help.

This article was like a can of spam - a little salty, but surprisingly satisfying.
