Man, your arrival at Fire Fish Lagoon was so much smoother than mine. I literally woke up in the middle of a storm, with so much fog I couldn't see past my ship's bowsprit. It was TERRIFYING.

Great series! Terminology note - the wind in the sails provides heeling force, causing the boat to heel to leeward. The keel is the fin on the hull that keeps the boat from sliding sideways through the water. Keeling over means dieing.

I spent all weekend sailing from Al'Ankh to Aestrin and then bypassing Happy Bay and Emerald Isles to get to Fire Fish as fast as possible in my custom-rigged Sanbuq. It did not disappoint!

Fire Fish Lagoon is a challenging and fun region with winding islands, hidden sandbars and hidden towns. the only region where you can't sail in a straight line to get to a port and sleeping may become very problematic. First time I got their, I sailed through the region down the middle and somehow found Kicia Bay. Found the new sails right away and I have to say, they are interesting, I found my Sanbuq had a very high fantasy look. Can't wait to see you explore this region, it's quickly become one of my favourite areas.

i'm eating thru this playlist, can't wait for more episodes, i'll have to watch your previous playthrough! Loving it!

I was chuckling to myself the whole time. I guessed you were at the wrong port...

Hey man, ive loved your videos and seeing you play, you convinced me to get the game with these videos. As third mate and conning officer, short of a lot less paperwork this is my job and I couldnt think of doing anything else. Also,forget not the lore of how the new archipelago were named, give it a shout next episode in name of the community! Cheers, -Firefish

Did you know you can pull in the mooring line from the dock the same way you do from inside the boat. My trip to Fire Fish was bad. There were Storms and heavy winds coming down from DC, generally 2 storms and the rare 3 storms at once. Navigation was hard because of insufficient sunlight and too much cloud cover, so it was mostly just point in-the general direction and hope I am going the right way. I do like the bright saturated look of fire fish. And it's a real challenge with a brig to get in and out of ports.

Some interesting stats for this voyage to Fire Fish Lagoon: We averaged 5-knots and it took 6-hours, 45-minutes real-time to make the journey from Fort Aestrin!

Im getting to firefish today! bought a junk to stay on theme, and its also just, a good ship

Keep it going my guy. Best Sailwind channel

Im at dragoncliffs and there are no missions to Fire fish !!! What do you think ???

Since I'm not finding answers anywhere might as well ask here. I recently started the game, already have some sailing and navigation knowledge. So I was happily putting these to use on the dhow and then bought myself the sanbuq and ran into a problem. I can't seem to push around and hold yards against the wind. For example to maneuver backward when starting in irons. This worked fine and as expected on the dhow but the yards on the sanbuq don't get pushed nor highlighted for me to do so. Have I run into a bug only affecting my game, I couldn't quickly find a video of yours where you use pushing yards on the sanbuq, can you push your sanbuq yards? The inability to push them or tie them down is making situations like being in irons take a lot longer to get out of since all the backward trust I'm getting is just from the wind against hull and masts making it take "forever" to get enough backward motion to steer out of the headwind and get going. Being 2 masted the sanbuq should be able to do this even better than a dhow and even almost spin on the spot in irons if you could fasten both the yards at he correct angles. (I'd just be happy if I could just manually hold one to do a basic out of irons maneuver like with the dhow, though it be sweet if the dev adds tying down of yards since you're solo, this would allow you to do this even better and more realistically for 2+ mast ships (more like historically done on e.g. ships of the line)

Can you see your sailor in third person view? Boat looks empty.

Are you sure the knot reader is working properly? I know when you first buy it, it will have issues and starts creating an infinite rope, thus not properly reading the knot speed. I am also running default sanbuq, and I get, in the worst of sailable headwinds, 4-3 knots minimum. And with favorable winds I'll usually get 7-9 knots.
