I know I've had my boats suddenly beached on a sand bar when the tide comes down, thankfully that hasn't happened to me near the plains while an age away from any outpost or base.

This.

One, bad luck with constant wind in my face, then finding a sand bar the hard way, far out from shore. Two, couldn't shoot the little @#$!'s swimming out to kill me. Unless you're aiming at something far away, any arrow you shoot is gonna go into the railing of your longboat. Three, being in water anywhere around combat is certain death. You can't move well or quickly, you're unarmed/disarmed, and you often can't get OUT of the water. The mobs suffer none of these problems.

I'm loving this game, hard stuff and all. Rough spots, no problem, this fantastic 'early access' game has already paid for itself several times over in my opinion. But yeah, I have a vague hope that devs read posts like this and keep it in mind as they're working on the product.
