0:15.1	Anybody that knows me, knows that over the past the past years i've developed a real love of water and i don't mean
0:28.2	to say that in the sense that i finally discovered showering for the first time of my life what i
0:32.8	mean by that is the fact that i acquired an old boat it's's nothing fancy. It's good enough for me and my
