Being for years owner of a small pleasure boat I know very well the temptations that arise within ,it is nothing as a big ship. I was a master of merchant ships for years, allthough seamen are complaining they are never trully alone, a ship is like a small town, on the other hand a small boat especially sailing in remote places gives you the feeling of loneliness insignificance and impunity on whatever your actions may be, the hero influenced by the novel The Old man and the Sea thinks he is a swordfish and all people around him feed on him like sharks , so he turns the tables on them and uses them one more time to create the basis for his next novel and at the same time getting his publisher (who probably advanced payment for a failed to be delivered on time book )off his back. It is not clear if the incriminating dialogues were part of his plot or genuine ,as he very well studied all them characters and emotions .He has control all the time. His dangerous game will eventually catch up with him, just not this time yet
