The Harrier is not the most stable over actual ground, seems even more stupid to try and hover over liquid,

USMC Harrier pilots make thousands of hover landings to the back of amphibious ships every deployment. At that hover height, wind gusts and atmospheric disturbances have far more of an effect on the cushion of air below them. Also, the air over water is usually more stable that overland, due to the more uniform heating of it's surface.
