This quest begins automatically after you manage to escape the enemy fleet and storm - which takes place at the end of "The Treasure Fleet" main quest. You've acquired your first ship, and now you must take care of it and its crew.

For his first order as quartermaster, Adéwalé suggests that Edward do a little hunting to fix himself up.
