In case you ever need to be rescued from a tropical island, just remember, a well-placed S.O.S. is not only a Hollywood cliche.
A couple doing their best Blue Lagoon impression was rescued Friday from a remote island in Micronesia after writing the rescue message on the beach, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
A U.S. Navy aircraft took a look after lights were spotted on the uninhabited East Fayu Island during a search for two missing people. The pair, a boat and their S.O.S. attempt were quickly spotted, and a patrol boat send to pick them up....

I was under the impression that simply having ANY WEAPON aboard was a Big No No Internationally ...
Get a free tow and lose your boat? I really hope that I am wrong.
I wish there was more information about the island they were stuck on. Did it have fresh water or fruit. Anything that would suggest how long someone could survive there.
At least she could cook.
The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed....

Now That is Good ... I think it was a Call Out for a Good Divorce Lawyer and she was speaking about him, while he was asleep.
The fine print on that message would be entertaining... especially noteworthy where she placed the message... it could be an ad for Condoms or any other sort of Birth Control measure.
He is a loser or she is pissed off (maybe both) sucks to be him.
“If you were on a deserted island with a teenage Brooke Shields, would you want to be rescued?”
Yes.
Well, yeah, YOU would. :-P
