Looks like you've got mate on the back there (with upgraded bard too) meaning you have pretty high extra event chance. Wonder if it's somehow getting stuck in that loop and not progressing with the combat encounters. There is supposed to be a deactivation for mate past that point but it is possible that I've flubbed the numbers and it's one off ie. only deactivating after the first endless fight.

It’s a bug with an upgraded mate where that counts as an event and mate can keep triggering it, but it shouldn’t be an endless loop - you can keep pressing the set sail button until mate fails to trigger and it will eventually take you to endless.
