It's been a few years since I read it, but if I'm remembering it correctly the boat isn't the point of the trip; it's to see the "possible" clone-donor but they can't really outright admit that since they're dissuaded from seeking out these people, so the boat is what they come up with as an excuse.

I may well be wrong. It's been a while, my memory of the book isn't brilliant, and I don't have my copy to check.

I read the book a couple months ago and this is what I recall, as well.

It also fits in with the general theme that these characters can find delight in many things that others take for granted.

I think you mean that completely different trip with Cassie & Rodney where they went and saw Ruth possible.

This boat thing was after that when Tommy and Ruth were already donors.
