No, I'm an electronics engineer, But when I'm at sea with Woods Hole, I pilot Jason. .... really a glorified truck driver if you think about it .... We deliver the science gear to the work site and do the 'probing/sampling' but there are always science folks hovering about. The most fun is using Jason's 2 hydraulic arms ... it's all serious to the scientists of course but it's also fun for us. There are three watches and I'll pilot 4:00AM-8:00AM and then again at 4:00PM-8:00PM, 7 days a week. Each watch has a pilot, navigator, engineer, data-logger, sonar-operator and watch leader (scientist).
