...leave the pirates to die of hunger and thirst far out to sea, and serve them right.

I believe the correct phrase is,"Send them to Davey Jones' Locker."

Actually, no, in that case they would not be 'sent to Davy Jones'.

It would be the waterborne equivalent of a 'marooning' . . . and I don't mean Bugs Bunny.
