YOU-BOAT :: being special in a generation where everybody is special: slunk in self-aware torment, in conflict between putting down juvenile anxieties and being able to acknowledge them; not just ½-arsed, thought it would be appropriate to describe the whole girls party drugs party depression drugs branding self affirmation girls party cycle, so I decided to enlist the help of Lone, among others. |

NOTIONS BOUT THE MOTIONS OF THE OCEANS || In the time of Galileo, asserting that the moon affected the tides was thought to be a reversion to archaic mysticism.

Formerly RRivkin's super yacht, Hire A Boat offers unmatched comfort and power for traversing the badlands of the audible spectrum, as well as a melancholic disposition and a handy claw. Whether you're hiding out in international waters or dry-docked at the bottom of the harbour, Hire A Boat prevails over the breaks, thundering and enlightening. But make no mistake - Hire A Boat is not a showboat.
More accessible than you think, Hire A Boat offers offerings to cater to any lack of taste, no matter how dire, and themed tours run fortnightly over any number of levels. And with a vessel of so many decks (stories tall!), the annals and the canals of our fortnights aural territory - be it a dark rainforest deep in the yellow continent, or the gaudy, bauble-tripping houses that line the bay at Christmas time - shall never again feel safe from badly camouflaged voyeurs, circumspectaerbating in the periscopery. Book now.
