I'm stuck at the beginning and can't figure out how to open the bin to get the sails or how to get the distilled water. I have the batteries but now what? I sure do need a wt, or help figuring out how to keep going on with the game.
Maybe it's just me, but so far I am finding the puzzles in this game quite difficult (relative to other Nancy Drews I have played).
To open the bin for the sails, you need to:
go back in where George is and take a look at the chart on the wall with the flags; each will have a number by it. Make note of the flags on the bin and then figure out the number corresponding to each, which will in turn give you the combination to open the bin
And feel free to move my post and the last to the hints section.
This was actually one of the few puzzles so far that I have figured out on my own without needing a hint.
