I've just picked up SH5 again after a long absence, and spent a couple of days updating all my mods including OH.

I was just cruising around the point at Ceuta (S. of Gibraltar) when I noticed the navigation buoy appears wrong - a west cardinal mark (points inwards) instead of an east cardinal (points outwards).

After reading some old posts from Uekel, I got the impression that cardinal marks have been used at random (i.e. they just indicate that there's danger here - use common sense to choose which side to pass). Have I understood that correctly? (I'm not having a whinge - I'm a professional skipper, so I tend to obey buoyage unquestioningly, but I'm happy to compromise in the SH5 world).

If not, can I humbly request that the champion who maintains the buoys correct this one next time you are tinkering with the mod?

Kudos to Uekel & Sober for bringing charted buoyage to the game. I'm hugely impressed.
