Long description

A Short Sail is a short, cozy 3D sailing game. You are a grey tabby cat in a straw hat with a red band and blue overalls. You have a little red boat with a cream sail, and the islands need their post.

Pick up letters and parcels, pack them into your hold, and sail them out to the little islands. Fish by day and by night. Stop to talk, and make friends with the islanders.

Back at Home Cove, fix up Grandpa's old cottage. Dress up your boat, take photos of the places you find, and find out why the old lighthouse went dark.

There is no combat and there are no timers. It takes a few hours to play.
