[Fishing] Adventures in SOS fishing....

Just got done with over 50 SOS, and I've got a few observations.

  1. I got two lockboxes, which is a far better rate than my last attempt at mass SOSes 4 years ago (0 lockboxes from over 100).
  2. I had TWO at the exact same latitude, 47 minutes of longitude (less than 1 degree, or about 10-12 steps) apart. I fished at EXACTLY the location of the eastern SOS, and the WEST one came up first. Three casts later brought up the one I was actually trying for.
  3. The last SOS was due north of the most northern spot above the Ice Dungeon, so rather than risking my still-unarmed Britannian ship in the pirate-infested seas between Jhelom and Amoeba, I used a ROWBOAT to get there. Amazingly, I didn't encounter a pirate until I sailed south from the SOS point back to land above Ice & Wrong, and somehow managed to evade the orcs despite at least one crew member spotting me.
In all, it was fun, other than the nagging shoulder issue that resulted from the game play (and was on the left side, not my mouse arm)
