That's what I thought too.

Why, it never even crossed my mind until I saw two,
almost identical photos, of me in my North Star.
They were both side views of me in an empty boat.

I couldn't figure why I was sitting at least an inch higher
in the water in one picture.

After a lot of head scratching, I realized where the photos were taken.

The only difference was in one picture I was in salt water and
in the other picture I was in fresh water.

I'll try to find the photos again so you can compare for yourself.
