I don't know any more than what I gleaned from Kam's 20+ minute
presentation of from the nice chat I had with him that night in the
contesters' suite, but the gist of it was that indeed he's a
specialist with certain technology and there are uses for what he
does in that region.
If I recall the presentation correctly, it was a brutal trip down
(the boat was something confiscated by the feds from a smuggler,
apparently) and neither of them got any sleep for almost 96 hours; it
was humid and hot as hell the whole time and there were giant rats
all over the place that make the Clipperton land crabs look cute and
cuddly in comparison.
Here's hoping Uncle Sam needs some nice spiffy new hardware on
Navassa some day....
