^\~....... 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))                              ....~\^§£@
