i think all of those things need to be fixed. I really hated it when i would get to the boat before it left then it would leave without me even though I was standing next to it payed and everything -.- though i haven't done this recently they may have fixed that... But it would be nice if riding a boat actually felt like riding a boat... then i might do it more. Oh and don't forget the random sea mobs that come on-board!~
