You wash up on a tropical island after a storm sinks your ship. Before the ship goes down you manage to grab three things (not people). What did you choose to make your stay a little easier.
Oh..good question. :) Only THREE things ? :o :( :-\
Well the female Noble lady in me would say I would have to grab my gowns, jewels, and shoes. ;D ;D
BUT THEN
The Pirate in me, says the rum and the gold :) ;)
AND THE
The Pirate Captain in me says after I keehaul my helmsman and navigator ( just kidding guys ), I would grab my spyglass , my flintock pistol, and a keg of rum.
So seeing how it is only three things we could grab I would have to go with:
1. a spyglass -so that i could use the glass part to reflect the sun and start a fire to stay warm by, and also to signal any passing ships
2. a flintlock pistol for protection incase there are any savages on island, or just to use to kill any animals or shoot birds. Have to be able to eat.
3. and a keg of rum, cause you need some source of liquid so you don't die of dehydration, cause you can't drink the salt water.Of course if it is a tropical island there should be some source of water on the island, therefore i would use the rum for medical purposes ,and to help stay warm at night, and to help keep the signal fire burning,or trade it to any savages on the island for sources of food or shelter.
Coconut rum, SPF15, and a beach towel.
Trick question, you didn't say it wasn't St Maartin or St Thomas. Now if it were a DESERTED tropical island, that is a different matter altogether!
And if it's St. Maartin, please don't let it be Orient Beach I washed up on. It's been just over a year now, and I still haven't been able to find a strong enough eye bleach. :o
Gun, cutlass, rum.
And the head of that stupid, friggin' helmsman what wrecked me ship......
An Axe or Hatchet
A good Knife
Flint and Steel
A 20 lb cannon
A keg o Powder
An a bag o cannon ballz *cause a pirate kin ne'er 'ave enuff ballz!*

No I didn't say which island but it is during the 1600 to 1700's.
We'll give you the towel and rum. I think the only SPF lotion you will find is TAR.
Well, I'd have to change my tagline to, 'Show me your tar lines....and I'll show you mine!'
A book helping me make rum with any ingredients you find on an island all by your self.
Fishing line, a crewmen can not live on rum and coconuts alone.
Me cutlass, how else am I gonna cut up the fish and coconuts???
Me Cutlass.
Me Seachest.
An' a full barrel 'o Rum.
DON'T LOOK AT ME I DIDN'T SINK IT
cutlass -protection and for shelter building and chopping up food and possibly starting fire
flint-uhhh fire equal warmth equal protection from wild animals and cooking food
rum-don't know what is on this island might be worth medicinal purpose

But it doesn't really matter what size your cannon is if you are by yourself.
Oh and I will say that you got to keep a set of clothing. While naked pirate island might be fun for awhile we'll consider it for another post. ;D

Rats! That leaves out being shipwrecked on the Riviera, doesn't it?
Heck, only one set of clothes? I can't be unseen in the same thing day after day. >:(
Even by myself.

ROFL. Knows how Lady C loves to clothes shop and pictures her pileing several layers of clothes onto her.
Rofl you didn't say i couldn't wear more than one outfit at a time. ofcourse my luck other shipmates forgot thier cloths then i'll have to share
I'll have to say an axe, flint, and fresh water. I'd like to survive for longer than a week...
but if I could have only one more thing, I'd pack the powder monkey- he's been making eyes at me all week!
A short sword or cutlass to use as a tool and weapon, a flint for fire, and gold to buy passage on the ship I attracted with the signal fire I made thanks to the cutlass and flint. ;D
Not to mention the tasty sea turtle I roasted over the same fire.
I'm going to post a second chapter to this thread in the next few days. If you haven't mentioned what you want to take on the island do so now. Trust me, you'll like this!
wait something tells me i want to change my answer
I'm taking the hottest guy on the crew with me too
One of the reasons I chose me sea chest. That way I already have flint, compass, extra clothing, pistols, powder, shot, gold, tobacco...ect. ;) :D
It could be considered cheating, I know......but then again...Pirate. 8) ;D
