Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to be lost at sea? Have you ever wondered what you’d do to pass the time if you were?

You may get lucky and only stay stranded for a little while; however, if you’re like the Hanjin Scarlet crew, you might be looking at months. Here are just a few fun ways that you could pass them time.
