What to i do if its a driftwood? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> Do i sail over it too? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />
 
Just don't sail over any <i>mines</i> and you should be good. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />
 
Yup. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
driftwood is bad. that stuff rips your keel straight off. i was lucky i avoided it when i did. i sure hope i don't meet any of that stuff in my galleon.

floating goods are tiny. you really need an eagle's eye to spot them at times. if you meet some stuff, and it's not upwind when using realistic sailing mode, strike your sails. then, scout around with your spyglass until you find it. this is tricky, because the goods sometimes get hidden behind the waves. then just go for it. lifeboats work the same way, as well as native rafts.

i don't know how long it takes to sail from oxbay to redmond, but i guess it should take one and a half or two game-days, thus a maximum of 6 real hours without speeding up the game. speeding up the game it should take 2 hours, though that's a complete guess. using directsail really takes a long time. the shortest voyage is from guadeloupe to falaise de fleur, taking 20 to 30 minutes, 15 if you're lucky.
 
If you speed up 30 times, you can sail in DirectSail mode from island to island in only a couple of minutes. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
not me. with me the ship will keep turning into a submarine and an airoplane in turns.
 
Then just speed up ten times. Indeed with speed up 30 times, sometimes my ship suddenly starts turning on the spot really quickly and it takes ages for me to regain control of her. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
i often do. but most of the time, i speed up 3 times, which doesn't cause any speed problems or graphical glitches at all. except those hilariously spinning crewmen. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Looks like Cylon13 was trying to follow the ship with his eyes. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

that happened to me today too <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
Morgan, Next time you make a entry ..I wanna see me work in it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
count on it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> (i know i'm going to regret saying that. something in my mind seems to have snapped today. i'm serious, common sense finally gave up the battle. i'm dangerous. i feel like i'm a psychopath or something)
 
graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I GIVE UP! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> this is impossible! at the second attempt, i made the enemy ship surrender, which had stopped inside a friggin' bay, and was then met with 5 headwinds in a row, so i gave up. at the third attempt it took 15 minutes for the game to realise that it crashed, so i had to start over AGAIN, and then just gave up the whole game altogether. maybe i'll try some other time this week.
 
You gave up? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/8q.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":8q" border="0" alt="8q.gif" /> YOU GAVE UP!?! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/boom.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":boom" border="0" alt="boom.gif" />
 
temporarily. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> i'll be back punching those spaniards, french and pirates on the nose, trust me.
 
And no more surrendering ships what have winds whit a head at the friggin' bay. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> Next time eh? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
