40 years on a boat

My character built a boat named the Wave Crasher and left Siom 20 years ago. He finally found land and has been sailing along the coast for what seems like 5 years.
I am wondering if there are any cities along the coast anywhere or if maybe I am sailing along the barrier landmass that surrounds the cantr world. Perhaps the world is not round, but instead all the continents are set inside a great ocean that has a city-less land mass surrounding it.
I have 800 more days of food left and will continue following the coast until i find a spot to dock, hopefully it won't be Siom.

I had a similiar occourance, where I had a character sailing near a coast line for a damn long time (4 years or so). I thought the land was a new place because it took like, years to get there... In any case, if you e-mail Programming, they may be nice enough to tell you "You're at a new land" or "It's already civilized" - But they won't give more details than that
- The reason you should ask, is because, if you did come to a new land that's not yet got locations built up and stuff, then you're getting ahead of the New Lands department

I have been observing the Wave Crasher for a long time now, and its experiences are currently not affected by the progress of the New Lands department

Is the SS Staples anywhere near land? Robert's had to start making stuff he doesnt need just to stop being bored.

what happens if everyone on a boat dies? is the boat stuck at sea forever, or can you find it at sea and board it?

Well, if a boat is stopped you can dock with it, and a boat will stop if it hits land, so if a boat rams into a coastline with no-one living aboard, I would guess it could be boarded. If it's just cruising in open ocean, I don't think you can do anything.

Only certian types of boats can dock with other boats.
As for the S. S. Staples, the jerk better be BORED - He stole my characters boat! He had to make a new one, grrrr.

Forgive my ignorance, but what does that mean?

Jos is watching the boat named the "Wave Crasher". Currently, it's no where near the edge of the map, so it's not giving the New Lands Department any problems (Problems, being, this particular boat going off the map into undefined water.)
