The route he's on now takes him to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, China, Korea (i think?) Los Angeles and Oakland, with only a few days in each stop. I think he said he's on board until April 2009.

Setting them, picking them up, or making them? The moorings are bedded into the bottom? What do you do?

When the hydro sytem, or the breaking systems are broke, or leaking or not op prop, we go in trouble shoot and repair them
