How are you in your quarters on a ship, but also left marooned?

I suppose if they took the sails the captain might as well be on a floating island...

Might've sent the captain off in a rowboat

With two metres of water in the bilge?

Suppose a captain alone cant sail a ship, and a ship with holes in it at that.

They could have just ditched and gone to the other ship

but other than that it's all good!
