Disembarks, mutinies or tries to navigate back even though the point of no return has already been passed. Of course, you can also trust the captain ... all lamenting is futile in the end - a decision is inevitable either way. The present situation reminds me of the story of the discovery of America: "More than a month had passed since the departure from the Canary Islands, and none of those present had ever made a long sea voyage with no land in sight. Columbus cheered up the crews and tried to convince the sailors of the advantages that awaited them on land. Besides, he said, complaints were useless because it was now decided to get to India to find a shorter trade route. Columbus summoned his authoritative companions to get out one last deadline of three days, which he succeeded in doing ..." The rest of the story is known ... a new continent was discovered.
