PER CURIAM:
The award of the district court of attorney fees from the proceeds of sale of the Vessel Sonya is affirmed. We find it was not clearly erroneous.
The likelihood of another factual situation occurring just like the one here is so remote that it is not thought a discussion of the merits of the "informal foreclosure" used here would have any precedential value.
