Jake stared at Peter. "Peter, they did that in the 1700s and 1800s. Not calling you stupid or unpatriotic or anything, but if it weren't for wooden boats America-and thereby us-wouldn't exist. Then again, America probably doesn't exist anyways."
He thought for a second. "Wait a second, an old ferry? That could store my entire cache of weapons, enough ammunition and guns to equip everyone here. Plus ammo for that pistol of yours. That, plus food and us, yeah... we could very well get to Europe by island hopping. Just, there aren't much islands in the Atlantic. Other than Cuba or Newfoundland, then it'd be a straight trip. But if we spent time with wood reinforcing it... we just might make it. After all, the galleons did."

(Ooc Sorry for the interuption but I have a suggestion of how you can get to Europe
a) much longer but much less water to cross. Simply walk to Alaska and then go to the Strait that is up there and do the reverse of what the Native Americans did
b) Island hop from Newfoundland to Greenland (may be cold but at least you can take a break from the ocean...may not be a good idea as I was thinking of Viking Greenland but may work just as well. Sorry just a suggestion you don't have to listen)

Peter replied by staring at Jake blankly and then looking back to the woman. "Please tell me, that, is only coming along for extra muscle,"

Laura couldn't quite believe what she was hearing, and neither, behind her, could Isla. Although Isla was far too nervous in such a circumstance to state her obvious misgivings to the idea, Laura was not. Spitting viciously on the ground, she stood up. "Do you have any idea how bloody stupid those ideas are? I'm an American, yet you expect me to be patriotic to a country that pretty much no longer exists? Hell, it was our single minded, dogmatic persecution of ideals of anything that didn't conform to our own stupid way of things, for example communism, that brought about this confrontation. And I'll be damned if you're suggesting we build a boat from spare wood." Laura was genuinely angry now at the direction things were heading. "Perhaps we can cobble together a boat out of the scraps here, however I'm sure we can probably find something serviceable to start with."

Jake was beginning to get a bit madder. "I don't frankly give two flying f*cks if we built a ship out of ham, the food I'm getting on each run is getting lower each time and it seems we've all hit our spike. We MUST leave now or we will starve."
