Desert Island Activity

What items are essential to survival? You have chartered a yacht with several friends for the holiday trip of a lifetime around the Atlantic Ocean. Because none of you have any previous sailing experience, you have hired an experienced skipper and two-person crew. While you are halfway through your voyage, a fierce fire breaks out in the galley. The skipper and crew have been lost whilst 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 many hundreds of miles from the nearest major landfall. As you board the lifeboats and make your way away from the wreckage, you spot a small island in the distance.
