Sailing is the worst aspect of the game imo. Help me out.

I am sorry to be so negative but I honestly hate to sail. I am at level 18 so I suppose that isn't too shabby but it takes forever to level. It is tough finding crew and sailing alone is a deathwish but I need to know how to improve this experience.

I have a war galleon and I thought that would help and it has a little but it hasn't made the difference I thought it would. If I start attacking a ship long enough to sink it right when I finish, sometimes before I finish, I'm hit by two or three war galleons or ghost ships (Revs) and Im sunk.

Also when you are groggy from being sunk or losing a fight does it count against you on the seas as well? Does leveling up only add a skill sailing or does it make ur ship harder to sink and able to deliver more damage like it does fighting.

I appreciate it and I will hang up and listen.

Thanks,
