Looks like the right wing broke, too!

Now getting what’s left off the island, don’t seem easy.

It won't be that hard. Take the wings off, put it on a flat trailer, and drive it on the ferry.

All that at how much an hour $$$?

Take wings off… check
Put on flat bed… check
Drive onto ferry… check

I’ve done it. Not that big a deal.
