When approaching Port Royal from Cuba, the back-island is initially several times larger, than it is when you get close. I always see navy & EITC ships sailing INSIDE Port Royal island over there, even after is shrinks down to size a little. (Obviously, more are inside the island when the island is larger.)

Just like being at sea in real life, trying to sail to a harbor in inclement weather...the closer you get, the farther away it seems. I wish they had slightly smoother transitions from big-island to small-island though.

The tiny village on Black Pearl Island used to only be visible from a distance too, the way Port Royal is now. I have no idea why they chose to do it that way, but it seems very intentional. As of a couple days ago, the Black Pearl Island has been fixed (so that it is now visible up close, also) but Port Royal still is from afar, only.
