#@#%*=«.¨¨ 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))                              ¨.«=*%#@##
