Fact: tax dollars pay for search and rescues and I'm 99% certain the US coastguard will pay for that french vessels time and possibly for the aussie airbus who found her.

I completely disagree.
She wasn't sailing to support her family or bring medicine to orphans...
She was doing it to break a stupid record.
As for being a rookie pilot...I would not put myself in such a high risk situation.
And if I did crash, I would absolutely pay for my rescue because I am responsible for my actions.
