You know, that was our home.
That was our adventure.
That was our life.
All our economic wealth was tied up in another set.
And that was gone.
We were very, very sad.
Very sad, unhappy.
And this was going to take some getting over.
If we were going to survive, we had no idea what the next step was going to be.
Well, we were talking because only me and Sandy had seen the killer whales.
We were recounting to the others what had happened.
And we were exploring the raft.
I mean, you know, if you've never been in a raft, it's quite a strange experience.
There was a booklet, a survival manual that was sent.
There was an inventory of things in the raft, sugar tablets, glucose sugar tablets, 45 bread, 18 cans of water.
There was a heliograph.
There was some other things in the raft itself.
But nobody was talking about the elephant in the room.
We were all very frightened because we were worried about the killer whales coming back to get us.
