I hope that I would be strong enough... to live no matter what because of my children and because I have things in this life I wanna do still.
I would try to ration any food/water supplies to the bare minimum, sing every song i know to keep my mind off the sharks, sunburns and starvation and pray to the all mighty that I might be sparred.

Don't think i could eat a fellow survivor though. Thankful it wasn't me.

No, I can't afford to lose the weight. I would never want to be put in this position. I like dry ground. If i do go boating i stay near the shore.

There is a show on http://www.biography.com/ called I survived. It really demonstrates the power of the human will to survive through incredible odds.

It depends.... can I use my BlackBerry?

I think I could do it. I've got a high threshold for pain and endurance. I've seen survival man enough times to figure out how to live at sea like that ;)

You do what you can and trust God.

first of all: never panic, second survival: think, think of a way to feed yourself, think!! and last but not least: find something to do, even if your just in your life raft, find something constrictive to do... I don't know masturbate left hand, right hand, think of something besides death, learn to throw your voice! whistle a loony tune forward/backward, just don't think about death or sharks

as long as you don't drink the salt water, youd be amazed at what you can survive :)

The worst part would be the fear of sharks and no water to drink. If I was on a sinking ship the first thing I would try to take with me (if I could) is a fresh water source in whatever I could put it in. I'm a survivor and have already beat the odds from an accident where my heart stopped twice, so I would hope I could rely on that strength again!

I will survive but not on instincts only by the grace of God!
My instincts couldn't get me out of a wet paper bag

I believe that my instinctual behavior would keep me alive,even if I had to eat the other guy.
