They said it would take weeks to dislodge, but some astute members on this board said it could be done in much less: perhaps the white hats were holding the route ransom to the revelations, and so a deal was struck that was favorable to the white hats; or, the white hats controlled the ship, stuck it into the canal banks, dusted off their hands and said, 'Done, that's that part completed. Let us now prepare for the next boom while they try to dislodge their boat.'
