Damage in the Hold

You have just sent some of your crew down into Windspeeder's hold to repair the damage caused by the reef. One of the sailors comes back up out of the hold and walks up to you. "Cap'n, the damage is much worse 'an we figgered. Reckon it'll take a week or more to fix 'er."

"So close to port and now this," you think. You've heard reports of pirates in this area. A crippled ship would be an easy target for them. Should you drop anchor and go ahead with the repairs, or split the crew and sail on trying to tow Windspeeder?
