capturing 2 flagships at same time

[blue02celi]

I was out on a galleon with a small crew, just 3 of us and we were hittin up some flag ships. we got stuck between two of them and happened to get them both down at the same time. we pulled one along side and boarded. after dealing with the navy guys onboard, we went directly to the second ship, which as far as I know, didnt have any lines attached yet. well the ship was going down while we swung to it and we ended up getting thrown in jail.... or I assume anyway, because I've been looking at the jail load screen for the past 20 minutes and still nothing...

is this how its supposed to work? shouldnt we have gone back to our ship first and then had the option to board the second ship?
