I will NEVER again enter any swamp via boat. I made that mistake once and paid for it by running through the beaches of Normandy(minus the laughs and shenanigans). Also, your boat is vulnerable to leeches even if you docked it far from shore.

Two Abominations and waves of skellies.....Way to hang! Good on you for surviving, best of luck with your search for iron.

Unless i'm on a raft or Karve and have no plans on retrieving my boat, I never make landfall in the swamps and rarely the plains.
