Courses Charted
So, it is now the 19th of September (in UTC, at least), and I’ve processed all the Charts.
Of the two initially received, none were disposed for having an Accuracy of zero; one (mine) was disposed for having more Dig Sites than any other Chart, at 175; and none were disposed for having an Accuracy lower than any other Chart.
With only one Chart remaining, the Hunter who submitted it, Kevan, has achieved victory, and may post a Declaration of such at his leisure.
(Holding off on naming the actual Location of the Hoard until after the DoV is posted and ready to pass, for obvious reasons.)

Matt:
Sounds good.

So, might as well say what all was where here, rather than make another new post:
Really couldn’t have asked more of Cape Disaster, there.
The Location of the Pirate’s Treasure was the Shipwreck on the Island of Deep End; I had just rolled for it, (even though I didn’t have to determine it randomly) although I made sure the Island wasn’t the Island of Drifting Breakers, just because that would be a little on the nose.
The Chart Kevan submitted had five entries, and the one with the highest Accuracy was the Shipwreck on Deep End, so I’m very pleased with how that turned out.
Kevan:
I enjoyed Cape Disaster a lot, and the treasure being in a deep sea shipwreck - the BlogNomic dice manage some fine narrative work sometimes. I did wonder whether you’d placed the treasure by hand or by die, and whether it was worth second-guessing you on that. (I didn’t get much beyond wondering if you had a reason to be cagey about putting a haunted ship at Bucky’s Doom.)
Pity I was the only non-piratical player to put a Chart in at the end, there. Did it catch people out by (unintentionally) having the deadline at the end of a weekend? Even knowing that the other hunters hadn’t explored much, I was a little nervous about a speculative but accurate single-island guess from someone.
RaichuKFM:
A bit of a shame, yeah. I think it was a bit of a mix of general (relative) apathy leading up to it, the deadline kinda sneaking up, and nobody having nearly as much information as you.
As for the Bucky’s Doom thing, well, it lacked a skull-shaped rock, so it would do nothing; but the rule would still probably discourage anyone from Exploring it, which seemed non-ideal?
