That would be a solution *IF*... she wasn't several hundred yards away from deep water. It was the storm surge that carried her into the flats. Can't duplicate that by other means. A full-moon, high tide might help, but it's doubtful the keel could be raised above the reef's sub-surface level.
Anyone else have an idea? CH-47 Chinook? Sikorsky Skycrane? Probably not. Dredge a path?
