DIFFERENT WAYS.

THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL METHOD IS:

To divide the fish into small portions and to chew each of these thoroughly spitting all solid matter before going to the next morsel.

The fish can also be sectioned and twisted within a cloth, the thus freed juice is either sucked or caught.

One primitive way of dealing with a large fish is to hack holes in its side & allow moisture from the lymphatic vessels to ooze into these.

If you like the juice of raw clams or oysters you are apt to find all this surprisingly pleasant.

At any rate you'll be able to satisfy thirst as long as you can catch sufficient fish for your need.

REMEMBER that it will take you several hours to obtain 1/2 litre of this liquid, so be patient while squeezing the fish. (OUCH!)

SALTED WATER TO DRINK OR NOT TO DRINK???:

BOMBARD EXPERIENCE!

The following chapter has created waves of screams, but the fact remains that, YES!

YES! You can drink salt water! BUT!**

But you have to do this as soon as possible and in small quantities. As you will see below, those experiences were done first by Alan Bombard, Poom Lim and a team of survival expert from the French NAVY.

In some ways we repeat the Galileo principle, what if they were wrong? For centuries sailors have said, salt water drinking = death.

Alain Bombard went alone as a voluntary shipwreck survivor, its raft was called L'Heritique".

Its purpose somewhat different from the Kon-Tiki was to prove that one can survive at sea although in some ways Poom Lim already had done it but not as a volunteer.

*Bombard wanted to convince sailors not those in laboratories that drinking salt water was all right up to a point.

People have pretended that Bombard drank only salt water for weeks, and this is false. Salt water permits only to support for a few days the absence of soft water.

BUT; IT WAS TO START DRINKING SALT WATER IN THE FIRST HOURS AFTER

SHIPWRECK & IN SMALL QUANTITIES.

Because the organism is still hydrated and the tolerance is greater and it quenches thirst. The more you wait the worst it is.

Some may pretend that one can drink too much. This argument does not stand, salt water is not that great to drink first of all.

It is said also that drinking salt water gets you crazy, lets not reverse the picture, it is those who were gone crazy from thirst that drank inconsiderate amount.

Bombard drank sea water during 14 days in total in consecutive period from 3 to 6 days maximum.

The fish liquid also was used and permitted him to wait for rain which came after 23 days.

He NEVER lacked fish although it was said the opposite, maybe the noise of motor scares the fishes, whereas he was in a raft.

Starting from Canaries he reached Barbados even if in a weak condition, he was still able to walk and had not suffer from his salt water drinks, the liquid from fish & rain water.

Bombard NEVER
