Boating in Misty Hollow

When you arrive, click the teleport orb to the docks or boat rides.  It's marked with a star on the map below.
Driving
Driving
  • Click the boat at the end of the docks to go onboard
  • Use the WASD keys to steer (you must be clicked outside the chat box)
  • W makes you go forward and faster
  • A turns left, D turns right.  I use taps on A and D to steer.
  • S slows you down
  • SPACE BAR pops you out of the boat
Accidents
rides
  • If the boat goes too fast, it will sail away from you and leave you in the water.  Click the SPACE BAR to gather yourself to the boat again.  Click the boat to get back on board
  • If the boat capsizes, there is little way to recover.  You can reenter the city to start again. 
  • If you get stuck in anyway and hitting space bar doesn't fix it, reenter the city to begin again.
Races
Races
  • Davy has made a race track with red flags marking the track and green flags marking observation stations for officials.
  • If you are in a race, be sure you go through all the red-flagged gates.  Get close enough to each observation post (green flag) so the officials there can see you.
  • Note:  Due to the nature of the scripting, you will not be able to see others in their boats.  You will see the avatar, but not the boat.
  • If you capsize or otherwise get stuck in a race and space bar won't fix it, you will not be able to win the race. If you and other opponents all capsize, you can start again.
  • The boat track goes around the central island where the docks are located. Go counterclockwise around that island as marked by the flags. 
Time Trials
boatmap
  • Before you begin, make sure the host of the event knows you are ready to start.
  • When the host says GO, begin your route.
  • Make sure the host sees you as you arrive back at the docks.  She will be timing you.
  • If you have to restart, be sure you reenter the city.  Tell the host again that you are restarting.  Be sure she can see you as we have had some people become invisible upon restarting.
  • At the end of the event, the host will award prizes based on your best lap time.  Feel free to try several times.
