But it's fine to go through it - you just can't end the turn there or you
might get left behind.  So one option is to make it a dangerous position.

Setting the EC is an alternative to making it a dangerous position.  If
this is done the ship's tile will be used, but only as a last resort.  So
goto by a settler from one island to another will use the ship, but the
same goto across a bay of an island would choose to go around the island
instead.

I'm not sure which is better - probably the dangerous position method.
