&&...&.&&. 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)) .&&..&&&.&
