I know...The ball was dropped as far as the most important item & basic item, the shelters..As you mentioned..this is/was the most basic, & most important. The cost of this mistake..damaged, unusable (loaned) equipment, valuable "QRV" time..lost, and most important, the welfare of those folks on Clipperton challenged by the elements because of this. Let's be thankful it wasn't in arctic conditions.. It obviously was not planned very well, as far as after they got there goes. Getting there seemed to go well, but it went to Hell in a Basket quickly from Day 1. Let's hope they get out of there & home before someone get's hurt.
