story islands respawn?

[Nekochan]

either the game has you float in a circle or the story islands respawn, I just went to what I think is a respawned radio tower and it was completely unlooted and had the blueprints from before

Yes, when your raft moves far enough away from them for the island to despawn, the game spawns a new one (assuming you're tracking them with the receiver). Everything except the story items you picked previously are back on the new version of the island. All the various hidden packages in the trailers are back on Caravan island and all the tokens (among other things) can be looted again on respawned Tangaroa.

You can travel a million miles set the code in receiver and story location always spawns certain distance away from your raft.

Whenever I sail over 2500m away from the story island (sailing in the direction of the wind), the new story island spawns about 1850m behind me (against the wind) meaning I can never get to the story island as it keeps on spawning behind me no matter how far forward I go. Is there any way to fix this and finally get to the story island? (Balboa btw)

Balboa always spawns upwind from your location. You should have found some blueprints at Vasagatan that helps you to get there.
