You can ask your pilot about your destination, time, guard, launch, speed, help, or position.
Pilot Grendalian says, "I'll be happy to
give you a few pointers."
Pilot Grendalian instructs:
1 - You can ask me about position and speed for helpful info.
2 - COMMAND Grendalian TO ... will give you a list of commands.
3 - You can use the trim command multiple times to increase the speed of the
ship.
The use of this command is incremental.
4 - You use the ease command to slow the ship.
5 - The ship's wheel must be centered for the ship to reach optimum speed.
6 - A 30 degree turn of the wheel is enough for a nice, controlled turn.
7 - Keep a LOOK out because at full speed it could be easy to miss
something.
Pilot Grendalian says, "I can help you in a
number of ways Captain."

To Rossman's Landing: If you leave from Haven sail straight north (Command your pilot to TRIM the sails until you are at full speed). After a time your pilot will lose tacking and stop the ship. When this happens, command them to sail toward the long wood dock (which you should now be able to see) and trim twice. Trimming more than that will put your speed to high and they will anchor again.
If you leave from Langenfirth sail east/northeast until you see the long wood dock. (same as above).
To Riverhaven or Langenfirth: To get back to either Lang or Riverhaven you can command your pilot to SAIL FOR RIVERHAVEN or SAIL FOR LANGENFIRTH. If coming from Rossman's you can just backtrace the directions above.
Remember to trim from time to time to assure you are moving quickly and that your idiot pilot has not dropped anchor without you noticing.
Also, I have noticed the pilot drops anchor whenever they feel you are moving into a dock at a high rate of speed. Whenever that happens just trim twice and resume your course.
Turn wheel left or right, will turn 5 degrees at a time, you want to turn at about 30 degrees (best angle, others are possible) then once you have executed the turn, turn the wheel back the other way until it is centered again. You cannot reach full speed unless your wheel is centered.
Note: You cannot command your pilot to sail TO something you cannot already see in the water. You can command your pilot to sail FOR Riverhaven or Langenfirth from any point on the lake, regardless of whether or not you can see their docks.
You can make these trips all in 4 rois or less, but some Captain's can keep you lost on the lake all damn day, be sure to check references before sailing with an unknown captain!
