Don't have any sailors who are sailing to other islands, with specific instructions about how long to keep what direction then, eh... lol... two of mine are in such positions; one sailing a route based on memories of how long to sail in some directions, when (in Cantr time) to make turns... the other sailing purely on instructions given to him before he left.
The first one has the benefit that he could still roughly know when to see lighthouses or abandoned ships, so that one might actually make it... the second one, though, is in unknown waters, has been sailing a while already and still has a while to go... being unable to really stick to the instructions, and unable to get supplies unless he runs into another ship or an island, that one'll be buggered up the bum unless some exploit or new feature allows him to feed on his own limbs

Attack, mates, attack. One character already survived my psycho because of this. He attacked her at one hour and, one day gone, I came home again ready to continue the massacre and there it was, clock stuck at 6.04. I could have slowed her down there, but now she just managed to get away. Beh, guess it might be better that she survived. Might come back with an army one day and make things interesting.

Yeah, as soon as I remember what the R/L time was all those days ago when the Cantr-clock first got stuck, calculate how it getting unstuck affected the times at which lighthouses and locations were supposed to show up for sea-travel then, and then manage the same for the more recent cantr-clock-stuckiness....
Needless to say, even if do-able, it'd be a major headache... and it's not just a matter of figuring the r/l to Cantr timedifference, after two times having Cantr's clock go bonkers, it's impossible to tell if my sailors sailed even a minute too far in direction X before turning to direction Y.
It takes just a moment to have the difference between "you see a lighthouse to the east, it is very far away" and seeing nothing but blue, so counting back, then converting to cantr-time... then re-counting to find the correct point at which the ticks of the cantr-clock matter to sailing events... it's easier for me to count the molecules in a moving jellyfish, I'm thinking.

I imagine you have to turn at a point where there is nothing that you can see, right? Because even while the clock was stuck if there was something to see it was reported in the log. I'm pretty sure you can estimate the time close enough that you'll be fine. The clock was broken for maybe a day, tops.
