I'm not sure about that. At least for me. Because I had no more main quest direciton in my quest log. I had no way to sail to the final game location. I was just sort of stuck with nothing to do and despite talking to every NPC in the game, twice, could not get a new main quest going.

Anyway, no big deal. I replayed a small portion of the game and the 2nd time it all worked ok.
