Entropy has overcome this vessel. Cheaper to buy one than to find and fix/recycle it.
I think that's actually the activation energy. Entropy is a measure of disorder - it's a count of the number of different ways something can be arranged.
A floating lair that goes wherever the winds and waters take it. Sounds intriguing to me.
It's bound to hit a rock sooner or later (as it probably already has). Better to have some control.
