Setting Sail
Boarding Your Boat: Approach your boat and interact with the rudder by pressing E. Take the helm and get ready for adventure!
Navigating: Use W to release your sail and move forward, S to roll up your sail for reverse, A to steer left, and D to steer right. Keep an eye on the yellow steering wheel for direction and speed indicators.
Sailing with the Wind: Harness the power of the wind by keeping the wind icon aligned with your boat's direction. Remember, sailing with the wind is your ticket to high-speed travels.
