Enough loafing around.
At some point, the crew is going to miss the captain and start sending out search parties.
Either that, or the crew will take of with the ship.
Anyhow, this captain is doing what she promised her crew that she would do: getting supplies for her ship. She was going to procure crates of biscuits and dried meat for her crew, but the kitchen staff informed her of a marvelous alternative. MREs, but better yet, MREs that look like biscuits but have meat inside. And they are supposed to last for years inside their individually wrapped packages?
Better still: TANG. No more scurvy, no more rotten fruit!
She can keep the ship out at sea for ages without killing her crew by starvation or disease! Yes!
This will likely take several trips from the kitchen to the Caribbean inlet, even with the help of her wheelbarrow. Feel free to pester her, she's in a good mood.

Exit
"Are you sure you have enough food?" one of the sailors hauling crates up onto the ship asks, jokingly. "Won't it rot before we eat it?"
"It's supposed to last for years," Captain Raven says as she boards. Upon noticing the faces the sailors were pulling, she comments, "I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the biscuits. On that note, did you catch me anything?"
"The mermaid almost caught Steve," Sodpu informs the captain. "Almost didn't know she was one until she swam away. I am guessing she doesn't like harpoons. The mermaids are much prettier in these waters than in the seas we are familiar with, aren't they?"
The captain raises an eyebrow at Sodpu. "They are all fish. You don't have a thing for fish. Did Mehen finish that map?"
"Almost, but the shape of the shore here distracted him."
Captain Raven pinches the bridge of her nose in frustration. "I knew I forgot something. The shore here makes less sense the more you stare at it. There are extra directions here, in places. Those mountains in the distance over there make even less sense," she says, pointing out Belar's mountains. "Part of the reason I kept you all on the ship. It's probably part of the reason we are here in the first place."
"Pull up the anchor, we're going back the way we came, hopefully to shores that actually make fucking sense!" barks Captain Raven.
Soon after, Captain Raven's odd Menaphosian ship sails beyond the horizon.
