Finding space to dock it will be an interesting challenge. I certainly won't be seeing one in our harbour here in Jersey, unless they use the beach ... as they did with fixed-wind aircraft in the olden days!

Sea -water Corrosion
 
Having had personal experience with it, I wish them luck with sea-water induced corrosion.

Wouldn’t fancy meeting one coming the other way in poor visibility, or dodging the rest of the Channel traffic either! 😯😬
