Finished my first smuggling run in a new game. It's much much better now. No unexplained skill growth so far, sailing or otherwise.
@Levis: I think the starting amount of contraband a smuggler gets needs toning down. It's the third game in a row I start as a Spanish smuggler with a hoy and the smallest sum I've made is about 100000. In this game I've got 148000 worth of sandal. I can start a separate thread in brainstorming if you think it's worth it.
