Sindbad: Part B

Thinking about doing a story about a boat that sales the oceans and never reaches a port but stumbles upon an island. Find a huge bird egg or a mysterious pit / volcano. Bad thing happens as people of the ship engage with it. People are left stranded on island. Finds something joyous to do on the island. Someone else finds joyous activity and it becomes a competition. The activity may actually become a resource that they compete over and take advantage of.
Another boats comes and saves the man. Displays arrogance and a lack of understanding in his continuous travels that are life threatening.

Embarks on his last voyage, possibly to set sail for life in the Indian Ocean?
