Hmm, then this may be just to your liking. The whole mod is basically an angling club located on a new island east of Gnaar Mok. I just wanted the ship so i never really bothered with the new guild or the new fishing elements it adds to the game. The ship costs 50 pearls IIRC and there's repair tools and other whatnot that you'll need which can only be bought from the island academy. There's an upgrade that can be purchased for the ship (a cannon - not real Morrowindy IMO) and a few neat little mod features that i've never seen elsewhere like a real-time journey to the island by hire-boat from Gnaar Mok. (Actually that last bit's not as good as it sounds - it's pretty boring out in deeper seas.)

Everything you need to know to use the mod can be found in the readme. A pleasant change from some of the other advanced mods i've tested. All in all, a good, solid mod that provides an element to the game that i feel should have been implemented by the devs. In fact, if the aspect of sailing the seas were left to Bethesda, they probably wouldn't have done as good a job as this guy's done.

There's just one gripe. All those impossibly spikey rock formations placed in the sea to give an indication/illusion of space/distance haven't been removed. And they're a pain in the ass. But that's what the accompanying dinghy and repair tools are for, i guess.
