		Dele spent about $16,000 refitting his boat with everything from DVD players and a PlayStation to custom cushions, scuba gear and spear guns.
		Dele would be lounging below deck with his PlayStation when an idea would suddenly strike him - like a wet suit with webbed wings that would allow a person to be pulled into the sky like a human kite from the back of a boat.
		Dele also hinted that he didn't really need the money, because he was living comfortably off the interest of the estimated $5 million on which he had retired.
