Strange weather

I have the "stop" problem also. I cannot resume course after loading. Have to increase speed manualy and after a while resume the course.

What I ment by droping the speed to 0 during a storm is that the speed goes (because of big waves) 9-7-8-6-7-5-6-3-5-2-3-1-0.....
After reaching 0 doesn't change anymore until I decrease TC.
It happens only with TC higher than 128x.
With lower TC it goes from 9 to 6 and back.

I also find unrealistic to have 10m waves where the total depth is 15m

We'', I've had speed fluctuations during rough weather but never experienced it dropping to 0 like what's happening to you... As far as big waves in shallow water--while I doubt the game is modelled to reflect this, waves typically get bigger in shallow water than they do in deep. Hence the term "Surf's Up!".

Also, the weather starts over again when you save and restart. At least this is how it was explained to me by Leovampire. So, if you save half way through a storm and restart, the clock starts all over again. So yes, potentually you can have a storm for weeks. Ride out the storm!
