If you’re an adult (or at least resemble one in physical size and stature) you probably already know we live on a very watery planet. In fact, by most estimates, Earth is about 70% covered in water.

Don’t tell me it’s too soon to talk about special gift wrapping. Because I’m not talking about Christmas presents or anything else to do with Q4 (even though Q4 is less than 110 hours away, as I write this). OK, this probably isn’t for you.
