Yes, thank you definAtely! If you find more mistakes, you can have it! .)

PS: seriously, thanks.

The biggest issue I have with view from the boat is that it can be hard to see submerged rocks straight ahead that are close enough to the surface to hit the boat. Sure I can zoom all the way out, but then they're still hard to see because the view is too far away.

But then again, that's not unrealistic... And it gives a 2nd player a job, to watch for that! (which is something we in fact do when there's more than 1 of us on a boat.)

realistic or not, what is realistic in zooming out that much? I mean only to shift the center to golden ratio, quite a bit more down. (Or have the possibility to toggle while driving/sailing/♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the boat).

Enable free camera if you haven't done that before, zoom out and turn your screen to the point you like the view. Also, keep in mind that your character is the center of the screen, not the oar it's using to paddle.

I'm usually playing up close to my character when I'm walking, but the moment I start sailing I zoom out as much as possible to see as much as possible of my environment as I can. And it certainly helps as I've been able to spot leviathans and serpents a long time before I would have noticed them when being close to first person.

Thanks for this response. I usually sail while zommed out. And in this position the center should be shifted a little down, so that there's more view to the front. But I'll check this. Thanks again.
