Like I said, I never really put this in any immediately useable form, but I figured the ship itself was affected some way that caused it to periodically shift. Any crew members not onboard would be left behind. With the ship the only way to (maybe) get home some day, riding out the voyages becomes critical. On the other hand, supply makes going ashore and/or dealing with the locals (and getting tangled up in their issues) a necessity as well. I expect staying in some perceived paradise would at some point become an issue for debate, of course.
