the last time Davy Jones set foot on land; when, where, and why, do you think?

We're informed that DJ can only set foot on land once a decade. When he arrives at Isla Cruces, he indicates that the last time he set foot on land was not long ago. What do you think he went on land for? Does he maybe regularly move his chest to avoid it being found? Somehow that doesn't feel like a very satisfying explanation - or at least not like a complete one.

Tia Dalma suggests that DJ has recently been ashore too... So how does she know? She may not have anything to do with it, of course; she seems to know many things she shouldn't. But perhaps she was somehow involved in DJ's last trip to land?

Yeah, I wondered this as well. Sadly, I'm completely out of ideas as to what the event may have been, but I'd love to hear anyone else's! Do you think that we'll find out about this in POTC3?

Maybe he went on land to get Bootstrap Bill?

Bad guess, especially since BB was underwater, but other than that, I can't think of anything.

I think Tia Dalma might very well have been involved with his last trip on land. There's probably some connection between them, since they seem to have both the same heartshaped music box- that's the rumor anyway, I can not claim I myself saw that too. But I do remember a close look at some of Tia's stuff, when Jack makes himself the new owner of one of her rings... there was something lying there indeed. It's one of those 1001 details I tell myself to look at a next viewing :P

DJ's remark about not being able to set foot on land for another while again, comes somewhat out of the blue. Perhaps it's in one of the deleted scenes that didn't make it to the cinema? That still leaves us with the question WHY and exactly when he went on shore.

A very good question, and one I wondered about myself. You'd think if he can only go on land once every 10 years, that he would use that time for something very special--something so precious wouldn't just be frittered away.

I too suspect that whatever it was involved Tia Dalma. Hopefully, we'll find out more in POTC3.

I'm havin' a thought here....what if DJ was involved in the recovery of Barbs? Perhaps it was DJ, and not Tia Dalma whio actually recovered the body and then made the Isle go all 'pear-shaped'. Or perhaps the two of them were working together somehow--that they had some bargain between them.... Meh, I don't know. But the time would fit, as that would mean DJ was on land in just the previous year. It seems logical to assume that he might have something to do with those recent events. :)

Maybe Tia was the woman DJ fell in love with? We reconize that the music box DJ had and Tia's neclance are similar. When Gibbs (I think) said that DJ fell in love with the sea not a woman, Tia snapped at him saying 'there is more than one version of the story.'

Also where would DJ go is a very good question, maybe Tortuga? I doubt he would go into any ports(ex-Port Royal).

Hmm... I've heard theories about Tia being DJ's love before... but somehow I dought that. And if so, I more her mother or her grand(grand)mother was his true love or something. She could have inherited the heartshaped necklace, perhaps not even knowing its origin.

But I can fully go with your reasoning, Rums. But then why helped DJ recovering Barbs? In a way Barbossa alive must have been a pain in the *ss to him, being a more succesful pirates captain of the Black Pearl than CJS has ever been. And it's not very likely Barbs was able to bargain with him, while he obviously was pretty dead... or will he have been able to do so? And then why is Barbossa now willing to captain our beloved crew in order to save the man who plans to kill the man that has saved him? (if you get what I mean :rolleyes: )
