So my question that I’ve never quite understood, is why once Will Turner becomes captain of the Flying Dutchman couldn’t Elizabeth just get on a ship and go meet Will to kind of circumvent the every 10 years rule? I wonder this because we see several times in the movie where Will himself or Jack or even the East India trading company has men on the Dutchman itself that aren’t dead nor dying so it doesn’t seem to be an issue that once you get on the Dutchman, you have to give up your soul. So why couldn’t Elizabeth from time to time just pop in between the Dutchman doing its business fairing souls to the next world?
