A Brief Explanation of Location in OFMD
So speaking with fellow fans who are not from North America, I realize there is some misunderstanding occuring about where these characters would be going, and the time and distance it would take. Like of course the dinghys being able to magically pinpoint any location is comedy, but the jokes about them being able to go across ‘the whole ocean’ stems in not knowing where these pirates set up shop.
The pirates of this show are working primarily on the Caribbean Sea, and Blackbeard irl only having gone as far north as Virginia. The stuck to the Caribbean as it was a center of trade among the multiple empires colonizing the Americas.
Stede is from Barbados, and returns to the island at the end of episode 9, notice how close it is to the tip of Florida. This area in itself was the prime realestate of pirates.
St. Augustine is not an island! The red dot on Florida is St. Augustine, it is one of the oldest cities in Florida, having been a Spanish Colony. Jim is a Floridian! And so the stretches of space going from Florida into more open sea and ocean, or stopping in The Bahamas to get supplies- its a small area.
Nassau was the irl ‘Pirate Kingdom’ founded in part by Ben Hornigold, and was the start of many pirates such as Blackbeard. It was the base of operations, because many ships would follow trade routes going through or around the island. Giving space for them to regroup and still go out to capture.
In Conclusion, the time for the characters to travel fits very easily in actual movements in the period. Ships of various empires move across the water in predictable routes, and the pirates who were working primarily in the Caribbean took advantage of it. They aren’t crossing oceans, and the ‘ocean in ofdm is a puddle’, its that they are travelling in the Caribbean sea which is a relatively small area.

YEAAAAAAHAAA (lowkey, so as not to scare her off too bad) GAIA GANG PARTY LETS GOOOOOOO
If you kinda think about it...It'd be her first (or second!) time with actual friends and people who legitimately like her around....but also, the first/second time without someone more familiar.

Age is so weird because you will spend the first 15 years of your life being told that you’re are a stupid child who doesn’t know anything and then suddenly at 16 you should be getting a job to become an adult and at 17 you should be getting a car to become an adult and at 18 you should be a fully functioning adult who knows everything and should be in college and preparing to move out of your parents house and if you aren’t you’re a failure.
