Remember, if you don’t want to sail alone, you can look for a crew in the Multiplayer Forum, there are plenty of sailors looking for crew members or boats to sail with. Perhaps some of you more experienced sailors could team up with newbies and spread the knowledge?
Share your progress on Twitter and Facebook, and the Steam Forums - we'd love to hear what you think and how you got on!
Enjoy and happy sailing!
