.##.#..#.# ok at this point i am ready to believe.  .##.#.#..#
..#.#.##.# it would be so easy to let go and start  ..#.#.#.##
.##.#..#.# to take in water. the boat would be      .##.#.#..#
..#.#.##.# submerged in minutes, a small list at    ..#.#.#.##
.##.#..#.# first but once enough sea has poured     .##.#.#..#
..#.#.##.# in, it would be quick. the boat on its   ..#.#.#.##
.##.#..#.# way to the bottom. rope and bins         .##.#.#..#
..#.#.##.# floating.                                ..#.#.#.##
.##.#..#.#                                          .##.#.#..#
..#.#.##.# anyway - i'm fairly certain that the     ..#.#.#.##
.##.#..#.# spots move. they're insects or           .##.#.#..#
..#.#.##.# something. when i'm not looking, they    ..#.#.#.##
.##.#..#.# shift, they crawl, they grow and         .##.#.#..#
..#.#.##.# shrink. they congregate                  ..#.#.#.##
.##.#..#.#                                          .##.#.#..#
..#.#.##.# (i'm thinking, i should get a tattoo     ..#.#.#.##
.##.#..#.# gun, draw circles around them. to show   .##.#.#..#
..#.#.##.# that they do indeed migrate across the   ..#.#.#.##
.##.#..#.# skin. (or, the circles would trap them,  .##.#.#..#
..#.#.##.# like salt))                              ..#.#.#.##
