I just talked to krich today and he is still fighting the heading bug for us
He hasn't found the cause yet but I have confidence he will be able to in time until then we should just continue pathing the boats and ignor the fact that they turn to a strange heading whenever they pause.
He also sais this bug could be responsible for causing mobs to spin funny in combat once in a while.
sugestion to everyone setting up boats get the static boats on both sides of the zones set up before pathing a crusing boat it will save you a headach trying to set up a static boat to match a boat already on a path.
Im going to have to whipe my last few WP's and redo them to dock with my other static boat.
as far as names go on the boats im just gona set them and if there wrong someone can change them : )
