Hi Mattias and welcome,

I think Codger raised the most valid points. Who is ultimately responsible and does the removal of Legacy pose more damage than leaving her in place. Short of knowing the real story behind this, it's probably best not to speculate. However, I agree with your sentiments. How can this continue?

I find myself wondering... is the necessary equipment available, or has it been diverted to areas of greater need? Damaged, sunk or stranded boats are probably a low level of importance, given this hurricane effected areas of higher critical need, such as oil platforms that were virtually destroyed in the Gulf coast region.

Also, the logistics and/or costs of removing Legacy may well exceed her value, in her current condition. It's really hard to say, but it's truly an unfortunate situation.
