Setting sail for riches is a fine voyage until the water gets rough
No tide carries back the coin you've already lost, and Sails of Riches makes no such promise. When the game starts pulling your finances, your sleep, or your crew off course, drop anchor and ask for help. Support is manned around the clock, and calling for it is the mark of a steady captain.

Chart an end time so a short crossing doesn't turn into a long haul.
