Mary,

I actually had to laugh at myself when you brought it up. I had posted that picture of the trashed boat on Jensen Beach and mentioned the cost of picking up the pieces. What was I thinking? Knowing that some sailors got pretty beaten up on that launch attempt, you're right, money is not the real issue in that scene.
