Shiver me timbers the poop deck be a burnin.
 
Put him in a long-boat 'till he's sober.
 
You could put him in the gig with the captain's daughter, though that hardly seems like punishment. Though if she looks like Honey Boo Boo's mother, even a sailor with nary a bit of shore leave for 2 years might have trouble.

You know, the captain's daughter actually refers to the cat o' nine tails. A rather brutal brand of punishment.
