#@#@*%/«^¨ 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))                              ¨¨¨¨¨¨^«/%
