Discussion I've always wondered about this scene.

The way Azula worded herself made it seem like disobeying her and waiting for the waters to calm was the smarter decision. If they went against her orders, they'd have a chance of survival, but if they followed her orders, they'd die for sure. Maybe the captain figured that Azula's wrath would be worse than death, which is believable. Iroh and Zuko thought that too. But Azula didn't imply that in this conversation. She only brought up chances of survival.

There is probably a timeline where the captan has a smug look on his face when the ship gets stranded after running aground due to the tides pushing them too close to the shore.

(He knows he will probably die but he got to watch the hot head he was put under get some karma before he passed on of “Natural causes”)
