Yeah. That is true of every storm. It’s the reason we keep getting “once a decade” storms every few months, and “once a century” storms yearly. It will keep being a problem.
Seems weird to choose a sunken yatch to focus on, but I guess when rich fucks don’t give a shit, you have to make the point that it affects them too.
Side note: former enlisted navy and I know quite a few people who are/were in the US coast guard. You would not believe the number of abandoned small watercraft that get found, but since it’s not something big, it either doesn’t go toward the big headline news counts, or just doesn’t even get recovered because nobody wants to stop for a kayak that’s half-sunk with no visible person or life vest.
Makes me wonder how many people die at sea every year that nobody knows about simply because they were too poor for people to care, or too unconnected for someone to notice.
