Can anyone give some basic strategies to defeating this scourge? My friend and I got our butt's handed to us as Jirelle and Lirianne trying to beat this scenario. It really stinks because up until this one we hadn't lost a single game. Came close a few times but managed to pull the win through sheer luck. But this guy may be too much for us.

Yeah, this one can be tough. The typical stratedgy seems to be to both go to one location (usually the Fog Bank) and churn through it. Your goal is to empty it of cards, but don't close it, so you are hoping your won't find him there. If you do, evade him if you can and go to the other location and try to empty it. Once you have one location empty (but not closed), go to the other location. Your goal now is to encounter Whalebone Pilk and hope that, when undefeated, he goes to the other location.
Anything that can help you examine a location deck will be really helpful in this scenario. Dodo, Dolphin, Boatswain, Lookout. They can all help you confirm if you've force Whalebone Pilk over the empty location deck. Because, once he is there, you need to empty and close the location you now know doesn't contain him. Then, head back to where Whalebone Pilk is the only card and finish it off.
Perhaps others have more advice for you. Good luck on your adventure!

Thanks, I saw this strategy somewhere else I just couldn't remember the details. If anyone else has some advice I'd appreciate it.

Pretty sure this was mentioned in other threads, but remember that you only need to succeed at what you can succeed at.
If Pilk is fought early on and beaten up, it has the same effect as if he had beaten you up - he's going to escape and cost the team a blessing either way.
So, don't throw everything you have into defeating the boat or him unless it means a handwipe. Armor is very much your friend in this scenario.
