I mean that's just using the rudder to move the sailboat, and atm we are trying it out right now and we are noticing is that it sort of moves side to side like at a snails pace, I do see the rowing icon now which is nice as I didn't know it existed until you mentioned it, previously we would put the sails up when we wanted the boat to turn, but I guess I don't know how to actually MOVE the boat with the rowing icon active, to actually move faster than a snail on ambien is what I would like as this is painstakingly slooooooooow



*edit we are moving, still quite slow but in reverse with that rowing icon active



just wish they would add paddles lol, I mean that's all I ask for XD, so we don't have to use the rudder to move along the dead wind or whatevs, there are so many other tools at our disposal, BUT and I mean BUT maybe I haven't gotten far enough in the game to see everything, because we just landed at the swamp area.
