When I went to see the shipwrecked pirate,my ship floundered. How to do I get my ship off the sandbank?

By loading a previous save. I have never been able to refloat my ship when it jammed, and I don't remember seeing any post from someone who did. Sorry.

I want to thank Astyanax12 for the ship problem. Arrrg it is the answer I feared,to bad one could buy another ship;then one would have a navy. I didn't have a previous save before the floundered ship. Oh the wonders of fantasy games when full armoured characters can swim for miles without tiring.
