That is so funny Sarah. You're right. Here are some notes about this raft: These are the most oppressive set of instructions I've ever seen. They give this brooding life to the raft. Like the raft is trying to maintain control and avoid litigation by creating its own instructions. But still there would be court room drama as we look over and see the raft conferring with its lawyers. Sadly low on air, draped over a chair, showing its yellow side. "Your honor I am not a parafoil, nor am I a bed."

The raft speaks! The raft wanted to control the whole vacation, I can tell you.

We can call him George. Fits his personality. Do you have an old trench coat that might fit him?
