Judging by the tests that were done, I'd say 100%.

Is it still possible to Fish while moving "slow forward"?

It's about 50%. Very little evaluation was done on the change. Being in general agreement that they were too slow, and unable to find time to do more through research the change was pretty much a big guess.

If it's found to be incorrect we can make another adjustment.

I'm getting the exact same timings I was getting yesterday in the same spot on the same test: about 15 seconds for forward, and 39 for slow forward. It doesn't seem like the speed has changed at all.

I also just noticed that "forward one" is moving me forward two tiles, while "back one" and "left/right one" are properly moving a single tile, but I'm not sure if that's a new issue as of this morning or not.

Thanks, this was reported yesterday as well; but I think it's been like this for some time.

Looking into the boat speed change.
