I'm not sure I could be on a boat for days with a corpse, much less one that was a friend. Talk about having to HTFU.
This post reminded me of a short story written by the Argentine, Jorge Luis Borges, I've read it a number of times but of course can't remember the title. As I was searching through his titles I realized that every one of them is due for yet another read. Highly recommended author, in case you don't know him.
