yup . cant gate off a key
a gm will put you back on your boat if it was the games fault .. if you tell em you left on your own they wont do it.
edit= if they wont help, you'll have to get annother boat and try to remember exactly where the boat was headed , then track it down yourself ... it wont make any turnes on its own so just project where it should have gone and go hunt for it. it should hit land eventually and stop.
