##@#¤†=~^. 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   .^~=†¤#@##

##@#¤†=~^. 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))                              .^~=†¤#@##
