Thank you for your feedback!
Particularly your thoughtful observations on the repeating events. This was something I fussed over quite a bit: should I have fewer events and give the player more chances to experiment, or emphasize novelty and variety at all costs? Another option was of course just to make the voyage shorter! But I found that whatever choice I went with, it was something lost something gained. In the end I decided to go with fewer events because it felt like the more pragmatic choice, giving me more time to refine the underlying system.
Good luck on reaching the Strange Havens. Don't underestimate the fish!
