....#..... 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))                              ##....###.
