Mark and John have been drifting at sea for two days after running out of fuel on John's boat. They have caught some fish and have been eating fish and chips for every meal, though John claims Mark is exaggerating about how many meals have been just that. They discuss waiting for wind to use the boat's sails, but there is currently no wind. John thinks they will be drifting for a couple more days.

1. Part 7. We ran out of fuel
(Storm noises)
Mark: Well, here I am. I am still on John’s boat. We have been drifting for two
days. We ran out of fuel.
John: We haven’t run out of food yet. We have got plenty of food.
Mark: We have caught a few fish. We caught some nice fish.
John: We have done very well thank you very much.
Mark: We have got plenty of potatoes. and we have been eating fish and chips
three meals a day for two days.
John: I think you are exaggerating, aren’t you? That is an exaggeration.
Mark: Well, we have only had fish and chips. What else did you eat?
John: Fish and chips. Yeah. You are right. But it is a good basic diet.
Mark: Do you think anyone is going to come and rescue us?
John: Well it is just a matter of waiting for the wind. We have got sails on the
banana boat.
Mark: Ah we have got sails. Where are the sails?
John: Well we don’t need them at the moment because there is no wind. I think we
are going to be here for maybe a couple more days. Is that ok?
Mark: I guess so.
John: Ok. Go and get the fishing rod out.
Mark: Ok.
