You do that. Report back when you are finished.

You have your orders - execute them. :)

I rode on one a long time ago (and by long, I mean exactly that) -
they are kind of neat deals. It was a water taxi. The odd thing was I
don't remember if they had a transmission for reverse or not - I don't
think they did. It was more of a slow down technique, then bump dock.

In one of the James Bond Movies, they did this, but with much bigger

Lots in the Amazon. Some had Honda engines.
