I've not got SH5 yet, but in SH3 and SH4 the boat can drift slightly off course sometimes......as in real life. Could that be the reason?

I always watch from the bridge close to harbor. Not only do you have to worry about the land but other ships. Sometimes other ships either don't or cannot avoid you if you keep going on your course. Better to waste 10 minutes than risk wasting 2 hours by plowing into a cruiser at 12 knots (I got up to get a glass of water ok!).
