Decision Making Today we will: analyze our options So we can: Survive the scenario

LOST AT SEA 1 piece of paper Elbow Partner Read scenario Rank your options

You have rented a yacht with three friends, for the trip of a lifetime across the Atlantic Ocean. None of you have any previous sailing experience, you have hired an experienced skipper and two-person crew. Unfortunately in mid Atlantic a fierce fire breaks out in the ship’s galley (kitchen) and the skipper and crew were killed while trying to fight the blaze. Much of the yacht is destroyed and is slowly sinking. Your location is unclear because vital navigational and radio equipment have been damaged in the fire. Your best estimate is that you are hundreds of miles from the nearest land. You and your friends have managed to save 15 items, undamaged and intact after the fire. In addition, you have salvaged a four man rubber life raft and a box of matches. Your task is to rank the 15 items in terms of their importance for you, as you wait to be rescued. Place the number 1 by the most important item, the number 2 by the second most important, and so on through to number 15 for the least important.

LOST AT SEA RANKING CHART Salvaged items Your ranking Correct ranking A sextant A shaving mirror A quantity of mosquito netting A 25 liter container of water (~6 gallons) A case of army rations Maps of the Atlantic Ocean A floating seat cushion A 10 liter can of oil/petrol mixture A small transistor radio 20 square feet of Opaque plastic sheeting A can of shark repellent One bottle of 160 proof rum 15ft nylon rope 2 boxes of chocolate bars A fishing kit

US COAST GUARD EXPERT ANALYSIS If stranded, most important = attraction / attention Need to get noticed Navigation supplies = useless Raft too small to make it to land in time Without signaling device, you will not be spotted

SCORING For each item, mark the number of points that your score differs from the Coastguard ranking and then add up all the points. Disregard plus or minus differences. Example: My rank 3 Coast Guard rank 15 Difference 12 Do this for each item then add up all the differences for your group’s total.

Item Coastguard Ranking Coast Guard Reasoning A sextant 15 Useless without the relevant tables and a chronometer. A shaving mirror 1 Critical for signaling. A quantity of mosquito netting 14 There are NO mosquitoes in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and the netting is useless for anything else. A 25 liter container of water 3 Vital to restore fluids lost through perspiration. A case of army rations 4 This is your basic food intake Maps of the Atlantic Ocean 13 Worthless without navigation A floating seat cushion 9 Useful as a life preserver if someone fell overboard. A 10 liter can of oil/petrol mixture 2 Critical for signaling. The mixture will float on water and could be ignited using the matches. A small transistor radio 12 You would be out of range of any radio station. 20 square feet of Opaque plastic sheeting 5 Can be used to collect rain water and shelter from the wind and waves. A can of shark repellent 10 To repel sharks, of course! One bottle of 160 proof rum 11 Contains 80% alcohol, which means it can be used as an antiseptic for any injuries, otherwise of little value. It would cause dehydration 15ft nylon rope 8 Could be used to lash people or equipment together to prevent being washed overboard in a storm. 2 boxes of chocolate bars 6 Your reserve food supply A fishing kit 7 Ranked lower than the chocolate as there is no guarantee you will catch any fish.

Scores: Add up each difference to get your final score 0 - 25 Excellent. You demonstrated great survival skills. Rescued! 26 - 32 Good. Above average results. Good survival skills. Rescued! 33 - 45 Average. Seasick, hungry and tired. Rescued! 46 - 55 Fair. Dehydrated and barely alive. It was tough, but rescued! 56 - 70 Poor. Rescued, but only just in time! 71 - 112 Very poor. Oh dear, your empty raft is washed up on a beach, weeks after the search was called off.

REFLECTION: Why did you make the choices you made? What might have helped you in this activity? What made this activity so difficult?

What was the problem/decision? What were your options? Homework: Think of a decision you had to make in the last week and write the following: What was the problem/decision? What were your options? What did you choose? Why? Was it a good or bad choice? What might you change next time?
