It's not the known issue in the sticky thread however. I died during the fight between the two chaps on the boat as both of them lovingly cleaved my health away. However when I had to use return to get back, I have no way of getting onto the boat again to try again.

I'm a bit stumped as to what to do now, I've ran around the docks and spoken to everyone there and none of them seem to want to send me out to sea again.
