Right, well, since you want to throw out the bargain and start grabbing, how about the families of the people who built the boats you're photographing? How about the descendants of the stonemasons who created the piers the boats may be tied up at? I think they deserve a grab too. You're going to have to find yourself an income of more like $600,000 before you can afford to take your camera outdoors.
