Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Rats In The Rigging
In randomly-chosen pairs, climb a fishnet to the deck, climb a cargo net to reach a rope and pulley, one person pulls a bell over, the other person rings it. Then, retrieve a rope with a grappling hook, swing to fishnet, climb to deck, then to crow's nest, one person unties knots to lower bell, second person rings it. Slide down sail, release a rope, grab the bell-ringer that drops, ring final bell. Two heats, two pairs in each heat, winners move on to final. The course is the same, but at each bell the player who gets the bell must also ring it, while the other player then grabs a bag of puzzle pieces. The final rope must be chopped with a cutlass to grab a key. The key opens a treasure chest with a solving station inside. First pair to solve the puzzle wins.
Reward: Deep-sea fishing trip
Winner: Burton Roberts and Lillian Morris (Burton gave his reward to Jon Dalton)

Challenge: Killer
Blowdarts. Each player has their own section on the board (sub-divided into 1-, 2-, and 3-life sections). Hit anywhere in your own section to become a killer, then hit the other players' areas to get rid of their lives and/or killer status. When you've lost killer status and all three lives, you're out of the challenge. Last player left wins.
Winner: Burton Roberts
