It's been a trick at the helm and three bells since the last update.

I've implemented a little new feature to save you just a tad more of your fleeting mortal life from the ravages of time and tedium; Auto-fishing. Right click on the "Go Fishing" button and one of your crew will get off their lazy rumps and inefficiently catch a few fish, but, mind your harpoons because some sailors have trouble counting and may throw up to five harpoons in a single session! I'd like all of your feedback on this as it's currently the fastest way to get food but also the most inefficient. To me that seems right but I'm open to hearing you all out! -but that's not the only change! "Oh Lord, what has he gone and done now?" I hear you all cry. Nothing else drastic this time, just a few water bugs murdered and a new line of dialogue for a few of the Captains.

Fixes

• Flag pickups won't replace the spyglass and other important items when you defeat ships.
• Holiday text won't run off the page.
• The flotsam no longer appears multiple times on the same save file.
• Maximum ship speeds should no longer change when you reload a save.
• Your sail will now be fully repaired when fixing your ship in port.
• The battle tutorial is less prone to confusion and failure now.

News from the slow boat to china!

Physical edition is still underway. Shell Shuffle encountered some development hiccups and may take a couple more months to polish and beta test which pushes the TCS limited edition kickstarter back a bit. Remember to load the clambake cannon with your email over on victorianclambake.com so you don't miss the limited edition news as it comes! Just so you don't leave empty handed today, here's a hint about that final secret backer reward.
Mind your boots don't get caught on any anchor lines and if your winds fare you well, I look forward to our next adventure together! Your Captain - Evan
