I guess you navigate your ways across the sea to different ports using navigation charts, compass and so on, taking into consideration the weather conditions, passengers etc. Just like Flight Sim really, with boats. It's probably no different than any sims in that those who don't have an interest in the medium can't see the appeal (Train Sims don't do anything for me personally but others love 'em!). Much the same way people look at me when I mention Flight Sim or WW2 gaming in mixed company ....

Same especially the women! They think I am a geek/nerd etc.

Converted a cousin to flight sim in the weekend though after showing him my FS - he has his SPL (or did have) - he has one arm and has soloed a 152 out of NZTG.
