The b..b..boats!
 

Arrrrrrg. It is driving me INSANE how there's some weird bug somewhere making the ladders in boat holds lose their solidarity. if you go below deck, and try to get back up, then like 70% of the time (in my experience anyway) you just walk straight through them, and can't grab or anything; the only way to get back up is to reconnect and they suddenly become solid again o_o

Helpzies? :O

Lay down an item on the 'blocking' part of the ladder and pick it up.

Oh yeah, you can get stuck on a boat if you leave with the rear to the wall.

Clever idea

This happens every time I am on a pirate boat.

Oh, and thanks for the tip, I'll try that out tonight. It'll save me some face during any long voyages that we pirates make to the tavern on the former Nighthawk island.

Happened to me on every kind of boat (not that it'd matter), but the item-picking-trick works :D
