Are we waiting for a question?
Alright...
Imagine you are on a rowing boat in the Pacific Ocean. The enarest land is approximately 75 miles away. These are known shark waters and there is a wound on your arm that, while not fatal, is still dripping blood. On board the rowing boat you have a polaroid camera, a small sheath knife and 7 litres of fresh water. What is the best course of action if you intend to survive?

No wind and yes, there are oars in your rollocks, if that's not too painful.

Is the rowing boat still on board a cruise liner or another ship? Anyway I will stop the bleeding and drink small sips of water until I see a ship then use the flash on my camera to attract their attention.
A footrace is simply first one to set a question wins. Used when we get tired of waiting for the last correct person to set a question.

I like the fact that anyone with a nickname like 'Cupid Stunt' is calling ME rude! 
Loosehead: no, the boat is not attached to any larger vessel. That would be too easy.

Well, the whale does.
Full marks there for the correct answer and uncalled-for levels of deviousness.
The question: Imagine you are on a rowing boat in the Pacific Ocean. The enarest land is approximately 75 miles away. These are known shark waters and there is a wound on your arm that, while not fatal, is still dripping blood. On board the rowing boat you have a polaroid camera, a small sheath knife and 7 litres of fresh water. What is the best course of action if you intend to survive?
The answer: Stop imagining, of course!
Over to you, OLS whale.
