Thing Around Dan's Neck?


Does anyone know what the large phone-like thing hanging around Dan's neck by a key-strap (when he grabs Amy and jumps into the water) is? You get a couple of looks at it before he jumps in and can even see the strap a few times after he's in the water. Then it's gone.

I think the stap was some type of cumpus or something. Sailors generally use it to keep an eye on the direction they are going and is sometime used as a tracking device, in case they were needed to be track. You don't see the strap anymore because like a fool, he took the stap off before he tried to grap the flag on the back of the boat. Why he let something as important as THAT go, I will never know. But look closely in the scene when he swims over to the flags. When he says "would you get off my back, I said I was sorry", he immediately takes the stap off and just lets in sink in the water. If it was what I think it was, maybe they'd have been found sooner. But now, I guess we'll never know....

Also if he still had it on him, he could have given it to the chick who went to take a swim for it. At least she'd know if she was going in the right direction or not.

A remote control for the ladder?

considering the internet is not isolated to USA alone (where i assume you are from), would it be that ar-fetched to think maybe, just *maybe* user allyssacromes is from another country where english is not the first language?

just think about it for a minute, let that sink in....











now, you don't have to be a douche much...


It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality...

I have a brother-in-law who is a cop who owns a sailboat, pal. Things like electronic compasses exist, can be used as a tracking device, and would evidently blow your mind if you're that out of the loop when it comes to sailing. You must have been living under a rock somewhere for a good long while. So, in your case, I guess there IS no future for the human race. Either that or no future in YOU being a part of it... Thank God!!!!

It was the key to the inboard motor hatch.
