Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] drug-sub mania

[Marc de Piolenc <piolenc@archivale.com>]

Think of the logistical costs of getting the materials and tools to the 
remote sites, maintaining people there, building an entire boatyard on 
stilts, providing power, clean water and sanitation, etc. The figure 
seems entirely plausible if all charges have to be assigned to a single 
boat. If several identical units were built, that would be a different 
story.

Best,
Marc
