Though I have a feeling that wind has a slight preference to blow towards the center. I usually find myself moving faster towards the center than the other way around.

Interesting. I have my own hunches like that, but what if:

When you sail out you follow land more closely OR pick a specific direction (like boss altar). For that you get normal random distribution of wind, but when coming back you have the map uncovered, so it becomes possible to pick directions that on average produce better wind toward base, even with same random wind.

Just a thought.
