Dunno.

Yes, I actually saved him a couple of times. Touch his raft VERY soft.
I mean VERY soft (no, even more). To do this, you might follow the raft,
i.e. go after it with your backside first, maintaining the same course
and virtually the same speed as the raft. That should do the trick.

You don't. It keeps on going. At one stage, I got so rich, that I made more
money from buying/selling them BIG ships (RORO/LOLO), then from sailing
around the world. At this stage, the game gets booring. Until then, it's
a great game.

I haven't played the game for a long time, so I don't remember what the
status was about, sorry.
