Islandan SGYou begin your day by searching for a rock. Specifically, a head sized rock. It's much harder to do than you would have thought. The forest is mostly dirt and pine needles, and the beach is all sand. You do eventually find a good sized rock. It's more double fist sized than head sized, but you figure it will have to do. You add this to your stash and head down to the shore for some more beach combing.
Most of what you find is worthless. A few more rags. Some sea weed washed up on the shore. Just as you are about to call it quits though, you spot a real
treasure still floating out in the surf. It's a boat! An old, torn up, half sunken boat, but a boat nonetheless. You dive in and haul the thing onto the shore, fighting through the waves.
Once your salvage is safe you take a moment to examine it. It's an old wooden lifeboat, with markings you can't read on the side. It has small metal fixings along the sides, and a few torn life preserves in the bottom. It seems like it was taking on water in the surf, but is not completely flooded. The most significant thing about the boat by far though, is the weather-beaten, bronze skinned young woman passed out in the back of it.
You lie back on the beach exhausted and consider your situation. You can see a sandbar from here, and by the breaking of the waves you figure there is a second one further out. You have only a single food bar left, and a very limited supply of water. You feel like it should be a priority to aquire more supplies, if you want to keep yourself and this girl alive. You consider that Smile has been doing alright, despite the fact that you haven't put out any water for him. You figure that means there is a source of fresh water somewhere around here if you can find it. That being said, you can get all the water you need using your filter if you take the time, but food is much harder to come by and in much scarcer supply.
You get up and survey the beach. The large, unidentified thing is still there about
half a days walk down the right side of the beach, but nothing else strikes your interest. You take your things back to your stash and consider your next move.
