Speedboats, water skis, water bikes, water gliders, kayaks, scuba diving, snorkeling, ziplining, et cetera--people ask me why I never go into the water. I tell them that I am too busy painting and not interested in swimming. The truth is, I am prohibited from doing so. Although I am allowed to collect shells, stones, and coral and eat some seafood, I may not step into any natural body of water. Otherwise my magic would not work.
