The second I see an indicator that it is plains trees, grass color or the distinct rocks I then keep it at a distance to where I see the land but I also am not too close.. Definitely would not get close enough to have any of the mobs render.

Even sailing near the swamp is dangerous to me because leeches can spawn in large groups especially at night.

Yup Leeches can be a pain.. although I feel like IF you clear them out they do not seem to re-spawn as long as you put down a crafting bench to repair your ship.. kinda helps. Early on forget about it.. you can easily get overwhelmed if you are not careful.
