Two weeks is an awful long time to spend in one of those things. That’s also plenty of time for the weather to change. I’m not surprised that about 10% of them get swallowed up, they’d be hopeless in rough weather.

At 10 million each even if they make 1/2 the street value, if only 1 of 10 makes it they break even. Anything more than 1 of 10 is pure profit.
