The Coast Guard appears to have successfully kept the hazard zone clear this time. The only boats on the scene are the recovery vessels.

Dragon to SpaceX: We gladly take the 68 million miles, are they transferable?

SpaceX to Dragon: Copy, we have to defer you to our marketing department.

LOL

All chutes, mains and drogues, located and will be recovered.
