Re: What do you do with the body?

I would stick them in the freezer hold, barring that, I have a bunch of 65 lb cannon balls I could sew into the tarp. I also have a battery powered sawzall to render the pieces into easily manageable sizes.

I really have to wonder at the mental state of these peeps who want to dismember their loved ones.

And I wonder at those who have a "freezer hold" big enough to hold a body

aw...I see what you did there!

Don't we all carry gallons of acid? Why hasn't anyone proposed that? Maybe an acid bath is a girl thing...

My last boat had one. No problem keeping someone at -40 degrees. It puts a different slant on "chilling out". Nonetheless I told my wife that if I got too cranky, just push me over the side.

A lot of the Skookum 53s were used as salmon, albacore, and longline boats.

I guess wrap them in a tarp to keep the birds off and flip them into the dinghy with more than a single line between and hope for a headwind

Re: What do you do with the body?

Cut you in half and put each half in a sail bag. Then haul you to the top of the mast where you'll be out of the way.
