    I was stuck on this for a while.
    Try to remember what happened when you first tried to board the ship in several different ways

    Bombs need to be lit before they do anything.

    Well, this is a guess from my side: "Inspect" the bomb and you might get your clue. However I can't light the bomb.

    Keep playing around with possible interactions. It does follow from what you should have encountered before.

    Try to board the ship using using the plank. That should produce a pool of oil. You can light it with hot coals.

    i'll keep trying, it's always a better feeling when you do it yourself, but this is getting on my wick. thanks for your help, Estel.

    Did you know that you can "try/fail" to use the clothline to access the ship? Might be helpful ;)

    It's mentioned elsewhere around here, but you need to

    I've lit the bomb, figured out how to run it down some before putting it in the frillies by trying to use it on something else, and then turned the handle only to still have it come back and blow me off the dock. Any help?

    Like I said above! I'll extrapolate on that:
    Perhaps you can do something that will make him turn the crank the other way?

    And that would be my problem, clueless here.

    If you want to be really boring and just have a solution:
    Put the lit bomb in the undies, then attempt to shimmie along the clothesline

    There are hints all through-out this thread.

    However, try to hang your washing out.

    See if you can try
    getting him to pull the top towards him
    Supplementary hint:
    That's the same as him cranking the lower bit of the rope *away* from him

    I'm having trouble lighting the bomb. I have used the bomb with the anchor chain, but to no avail. I have climbed the anchor chain and seen the hot coals, but how do I get one?

    Did you try getting on to the boat by the most direct means, yet?

    sadly, that's the first time i've heard that. Try a laxative.

    But in all seriousness, you'll need to be quick so the bomb does not set off too soon

    Here is the answer
    Climb the plank to get oil on deck, climb anchor chain to light deck, use bomb that was found in jungle on fire, use bomb on pink undies, click on clothes line ( not the crank, the line itself)

    Thanks that really helped without actually telling me how to do it. I was missing one interaction... that was my problem
