S/V Seeker heads for the port!!!

Massive as this effort was, I'm still not sure I understand it. He eludes to it being leased/ rented out for research purposes, but would YOU lease an unknown vessel built by amateurs in "a back yard" I'm just not sure about that LOL

Friend of mine decades ago (RIP) was a maritime radio operator for Scripps Institute of Oceanography. He WAS communications for the ship back then, but worked most the time at their shore radio station WWD in San Diego. They had a couple of smaller ships down around 70-100ft and he says "it is no fun" rollin around in one that small on the "big" lake
