Question on first starter voyage

I tried out a starter voyage solo. I think it's called something like An Old Salt's tale or something similar.

After looking at the map, I tried sailing out to Old Salt Atoll. I reached the island, and there is a broken down raft and other bits of detritus on the beach, and a bunch if skeletons.

I killed the skeletons repeatedly, and tried randomly digging on the beach. I didn't find anything though.

My questiosn are: Should I expect there to be a map that I missed? Will the skeletons respawn forever, at this same speed? Is there a way to know if I'm even in the right place?

Thanks in advance.

Take yourself to any trading outpost and find the gold hoarder (usually in a tent). That's where you can buy your first set of treasure maps from. Then take a map and head to the center deck of your ship opposite the big world map. Find the empty table and it'll prompt you to put a map on it. Do that and off you go. Happy sailing!

Thank you! I paired with someone tonight and he helped me figure out the nap thing. I know now that I had a map available when I first posted, I just didn't realize it.

I placed a map, but I don’t know what to do after that. The two times I’ve found treasure, my boat disappeared.

Before you got back to it with the treasure? That's weird

Within about 2 min, my boat disappears and it’s replaced with a mermaid.

Either someone stole your boat, or it sank. Check that you've dropped anchor and that your boat hasn't sprung any leaks down below (hehe) before going ashore.

Figured it out. Hold E for your map radial menu and there’s a treasure map pointing out where it is on the island!
