I scaled it down and it looks indeed better IMO. Don't know, why the scaling
looks strange. Perhaps it's really just the waves, perhaps it's the
viewpoint 6.7 'meter' above waterlevel (as standing on another ship).

That's also solved with the differend water, I think, at least if you didn't
like the straight shadow of the line. I'll make it a bit thicker, so it
becomes "complete" with these quality settings.

Oh, yes! If I'm gooing on vacations for some month I'll give it a try ...
sometimes, maybe :-)

I know the formulars for all parts that meets the water, but I'm a bit
scared by the math needed to rotate and translate them correctly. I'll
probably make an orthographic shot from above and use the image as a map for
a pigment function - may be to slow, though.
