Thank you for your feedback Rezneps! Yes, you read my mind as for the next release I have planned to add random weather option that will change with time. But I am also working on more realistic water refraction and adding wind shadow so wind is reduced behind terrain or other obstructions including other sailboats! I'll have to think about the "speeding time" option , but it would [obviously] not be too realistic (that'd be a bumpy ride ... ha ha!), I am open to any ideas!
For all of you sailors reading this post, remember: I LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK. Please let me know your wishes and please press some LIKE buttons :-) that would help to spread the joy!
