Ill prepared expeditions are a voyage to the depths.

When there was no wind they used to row. But that rarely happened as sails became more and more efficient at using even low winds.

Anyway, Valheim doesn't have this problem: sails are extremely efficient and act like there is ALWAYS wind in Valheim. If you wanted it more realistic, more people would complain.
