Towing the Big Catch

[Enjoyment_2]

Subject:
Whale butchering
Tedium-o-meter:
Moderate
Current state:
After you've killed a whale - you need to tow him at shallow water with your knarr, and then tow onto the land with tamed horse.
Current issues:
It's kinda hard to get rewards after challenging kill because it's almost impossible to have both a knarr, a tamed horse and whale in one spot.
Thoughts on subjects and possible ways to solve:
It should be possible to tow cachalots/orcas on land with wild horses and/or to butcher them on the shallow ocean.
It is pretty annoying to spend hours just to find them and kill, just to realize, you're now at the opposite end of the world from your base and you need to tow it with knarr for another couple hours. Especially, with current "move 5 tiles and lose the tow" - maybe there could be done something with it at least?..
Related issues:
You can't port to dock with whale skull, because it can't be put into cargo, and you can't access knarr's sail with a skull in your hands.
