Here's how I imagine it in "real life". You've capsized (not duck boat style, I mean keel to the sky) and you can only get upright enough to grab a breath, then back down you go, waterboarding yourself. Again. You *DO NOT* want to exit the kayak because you know you lost your bilge pump somewhere between the Subaru and that last ice floe, so the prospect of paddling a swamped boat all the way back is not appealing, assuming it would even float. So you are committed to getting the boat back under you without uncorking yourself. Breath, dunk, breath, dunk, breath, dunk.. wrestling around to get a breath is hard, just hanging upside down is easy, but cold and wet.

That's where you're starting from, still, upside down, figuring out this fucking problem, OH LOOK, A MERMAID. Where was I? Oh yeah... I'll do a number 37, "Ready, Begin!"

Like that.
