This is a question Water, boats and all that floats

Scaryduck hasn't changed the question because he's away drinking on a boat. So.

Tell us your stories of drinking and sinking, in piddly little pedalos all the way up to that oil tanker you "borrowed" ...

"Yes, of course it will work"
Many years ago, my dad was building a raft for the (then annual) Maidstone raft race. In order to test the buoyancy of the barrels he was using, he cut the top off one, sat on the riverbank, and got a friend to push him in. The barrel - of course - instantly capsized, leaving his car keys full fathoms five. He trudged his weary way home to the house he and my mum shared, only to discover his house keys had followed them.

He didn't get inside for over five hours, and his general mistrust of boats still lingers.
