According to one of the Elves as the Fellowship is making ready their departure, the boats will "Not sink, lade them you will" but later, indeed just a few short pages later, Gimli is mourning taking leave of Lorien, and then he says "But talk no more of it. Look to the boat! She is too low in the water with all this baggage, and the Great River is swift. I do not wish to drown my grief in cold water."

Is this not incongrous, friends?
