Wind Speeds

A slight modification of the Pathfinder wind speed charts. The final column looks at the effect that different winds have on ships and boats. Note that is only affects journey time, rather than anything else. Two vessels in combat have the same wind speeds. This affects rowing speed, as well as sailing speed, due to choppy water, unruly oars etc.
