@##§*=^~^¨ 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      ¨¨¨¨¨^^=§§

§**^~¨¨¨¨¨ first but once enough sea has poured     ¨¨¨¨¨~^**§

#@#§*=^~^¨ anyway - i'm fairly certain that the     ¨^~^=*§#@#

§*==~~^¨¨¨ something. when i'm not looking, they    ¨¨¨^~~==*§
