After over 24 hours, I logged back in last night only to find my ship was still out to sea. I can't board it, can't launch it, can't board/launch any of my other ships and I show up as on my ship to my friends. If they try to go to me, they come to where I'm at on dry land.
I had a friend add me to their crew, went to them on their boat, and had them dock, hoping to reset myself. No luck.
I spoke with support via live chat (a very nice feature btw, and Forrest the support guy was very nice) and they told me to try every world. I did that, but no help.
Finally, they said that was the only work-around they had and if it didn't work then there was nothing else that could be done. They said it will be fixed in the next patch - available in a day or two. So for now, I can't use my ships, so I'm playing lots of poker
