Jesus walked on water...

        Something interesting I came across, while poking about preparing
to implement flight/underwater movement.

        If you go to to river off the levee, and donate your boat nothing
happens besides you being stuck in the room.  If you drop a heavy item such
as 10,000 coins, it doesn't sink.  Jesus might have walked on water, but I
doubt he had an encumbrance approaching 400 ;)

        Obviously, I'm not the first individual to come across this
situation.  Can anyone suggest a proper approach to correct the situation?
Besides simply drowning if something happens to your boat, won't be too
realistic if your Fly spell wears off 1000ft up and nothing happens, or
conversly if your 1000ft underwater and your AFF_AQUAMAN (sic) flag drops
and you can still stroll along the ocean floor without a problem.
