>Rely info to captain and we both agree time to call the coasties
>Can't get coasties on SSB, switch to sat phone, they tell us they can't get us because we're too far
>Start hailing other vessels on UHF, none have proper medical facilities to handle it
>No problem, maybe the sketchy AF antibiotics will work... yeah fucking right
>Another strategy session, do we turn into the front and beat into it across the gulfstream and maybe get close enough for a helo if antibiotics don't work or run with the front to Bermuda...
>jeopardytheme.jpg
>Set course for Jacksonville and try to make the most distance we can before front
>8-12 hours later, kid is in a bunk and now has a bad fever - still outside of range of medivac and the leading edge of the front is starting to hit us
>Call doctor, doctor says call dentist, dentist tells us he's proper fucked and best shot is to pull the tooth, continue antibiotics and pray.
>Explains that we will need a local anesthetic, a punch, hammer, pliers, warns us not to get any of the puss or blood in our eyes and mouth... Ok, thanks...
>Take stock of medical supplies, no local, then I remember fourth guy, we'll call him Snowman definitely has cocaine somewhere.
>Snowman is on the helm, explain situation to him... he's unconvinced that this warrants dipping into his supply
>Explain to him that I will throw him off the fucking boat if he doesn't find some cocaine
>Take helm, and he comes up to relieve me shortly, go back down and captain is holding a fucking an abridged dictionary sized brick of coke... doesn't seem happy about it
>Rely procedure to captain and plan it out
>Remove a bunk and secure it port to starboard
>Front is moving in fast, so we take a break from playing doctor fuckwits to take down the sails and get the engine running
>Go back down, find the rum, pour a healthy measure for the patient and start passing it back and forth with the captain while we sterilize our "instruments"
