If it's a bug, then CLUA wouldn't be cheating (IMHO, of course). MuffinGirl, the CLUA Console is the debugging tool used by the developers. It's still accessible in your game if you make the appropriate modifications. It can be used to check for the status of global variables (such as the progress of your romance) or to warp in certain items, creatures, and people. Although there are those out there that understand and use the CLUAConsole extensively, it can be very tricky to operate if you aren't used to it. I usually avoid CLUA unless I really really need to. A search for CLUA will provide you with all you ever wanted to know and more...

By the way, did you look all the way at the end of the docks past the captain's ship? In my recollection, he's always been a little tricky to find, especially if you send your characters straight up to the ship.
