I saw "Adrift" (a lot of people go for a swim off a boat and can't get back on - link) last night - a pretty tense film. Life would have been a lot easier for the characters in the film and a better outcome for all would have resulted if the boat had had some motivational text printed on its hull, just above the Plimsoll line (link), explaining the benefits of teamwork, organisation and recognising each team-member's different skills and abilities. If printed in small enough letters it wouldn't detract from the lines of the boat.

       Or even have useful swimming-related advice: "don't forget to thoroughly dry inbetween your toes".

       Under the line you can write (upside down):
"Other way up".

       With respect, mr hippo, I would suggest that synchronised-swimming instructions on how to create an underwater formation capable of hoisting someone about 1.5 meters are the obvious choice.

       [methinksnot] There'd have to be an emergency pack of waterproof lipgloss with the instructions.

       Do you not carry one of those all the time?
