Just exactly how feasable would that be, putting the Shuttle on a Boat
to send across the ocean.  I don't think that NASA would be to keen
about that idea.  Especially with the tropical storms that pop up from
nowhere in the middle of the ocean. 

Also, wouldn't it be a bad idea to launch the shuttle from the Islands
with all the active volcanoes and bad weather they have??
