True. That's what they are supposed to represent, and I know they
shouldn't curve like that. I still thought it looked pretty nice, and
decided to render it that way, to see if turning the water into an
isosurface had some effect.

Yep, a speedboat could probably explain those waves, but it doesn't fit
to the image otherwise (and it's not really what I was thinking about
when I coded the water). I'll try to make the waves look better after
next weeks matriculation examination of geography. Been a bit busy
reading to exams now.

Thanks!
