Should I add this particle to both particle generators, or only to the one used for the highest waves?
At sea, when it is very windy, the tops of the waves are whipped up into spray. I would therefore suggest adding it to the highest waves - it might look a bit messy otherwise. I'm not sure everything follows the wind direction anyway - the waves, for example, come from any direction as far as I can make out

I'm sure it's nothing to do with this work - I had to disable a few other mods to take screenshots etc, so most likely some tail-end charlie is messing up the clouds - my problem
