Isabella??

[menzim@abv.bg]

Ok, guys here's the thing: I have to capture a Spanish galleon named Isabella. Problem is that I have a man-o-war and it's really slow. On top of that I have no idea where to look for it. Only know that it is bound for Santa Catalina.

Has anyone completed this mission?
I'd gladly use some help/suggestions.

Thanks!

In these kinds of missions you usually go near the destination point of the ship you're supposed to intercept. When you exit to sailing mode it will be nearby. Shouldn't be a problem for you, galleons are also rather slow and you can shred its sails before it gets out of range.

Yeah,thought as much. Problem is, that I can't get to Santa Catalina in time,(the log book updates saying that I have failed after 15 days or so) because the wind is blowing in the opposite direction, and I'm near Porto Bello.

At this point I'm out of ideas <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Keep reloading and hope the wind will change. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

This should be easy. Use the fast-travel near the coast and travel at overhead map only for a very short time untill you reach the next fast travel point.

use sailing mode. Sail in the direction of the port u want to go. I once sail from San Juan over there in just 1 day.
