I guess if you have all the money in the world, you can just be a little more wreckless....

Conner''s "Stars and Stripes" sinking in Long Beach, CA. Right at the Long Beach entrance
at the end of the breakwater. The rudder post came loose and flooded the hull. Good news is that no one was hurt and the
damage is minimal. It''s only in 50ft of water and they are raising it as I type. See http://www.stars-stripes.com/
