I'm in the boat port next to the dwarf that sells all the boat upgrades and when I go into the ship menu, I cannot change any crew assigned to a current spot on my boat. Every time I try to remove an existing crew, or drag & drop a new crew, i get the red error "You must be in the Neketaka ship yard to change crew". I couldn't be MORE in the ship yard? I'm standing right on the docks looking at my boat. Tried reloading, quit and restart, etc. Still get told "You must be in the Neketaka ship yard to change crew".
