I need more water phrases

[RecycleMichael]

If I am going to fully discuss the river plan, I am going to need as many puns and familiar phrases as possible. Unfortunately, most of the ones I know are negative... Please help. I know we can make a great list together.

Examples...

This thing is dead in the water.
The idea is all wet.
It is up the creek without a paddle.
Let's see if it sinks or swims.
