So at the 150 foot mark Petcan's Fireball erupts in the rigging and sails of one of the pirate ships causing many to jump overboard to avoid the blast and those who didn't jump into the water anyway in case there is more where that came from.
As the ships all close rapidly...
At the 120 foot mark Bow can make a full round of attacks. There are 3 enemy ships, and the wayward ship from Mynash's caravan.
Closing even further, the ships are near enough for...
At 60 feet Randall's spells: Spiritual Weapon and Sacred Flame go off. (are you casting Bless before this, or sometime on a future turn?)

Assuming the pirates are hostile, Randall will cast Bless on the party once ranged combat begins (can affect up to 5–who wants it?). Once they close to 60 feet, he starts with his own attacks (Spiritual Weapon on the pirate helmsman (bonus action) and Sacred Flame on their sails).
OOC: Bless goes off as soon as ranged combat begins, so that would be the 120 foot mark.
Not expecting such a vigorish defense of the wayward ship, the 'Red Sails' plans are derailed somewhat as the ship that was fireballed lists slowly away. The larger of the three ships also breaks off following the damaged ship closely, leaving only one 'Red Sail' ship to deal with.
The pirates from that ship begin boarding the wayward ship. Fighting is just breaking out as you all enter the Initiative:
Bow: 24
Randall: 8
Ceo: 16
Petcan: 20
Group of Pirates Midship: 12
Group of Pirates Foreship: 5

Bow looks who is coming aboard and firstly goes for the Captain, if he drops him he will turn towards Harry the hook. He fires of a couple of quick shots before he feels faster than ever and gets another shot of all within 6 seconds. Fast as the wind.

Petcan looks for a pair of pirates next to each other, and draws his rapier. As he stabs out with the rapier, his chest and neck alight with a glow, and fires bursts from the sword to lash out at the pirate, lashing at the pirate next to that as well

Captain Grinless has trouble moving toward Ceo as lots of little skirmishes and fights are breaking out all over the ship. It is a general state of chaos and limits movement similar to difficult terrain. He ends up 15 feet from Ceo and instead of dashing to close decides to Dodge any attacks from the surrounding crew that are near him.
Peg-leg Pete is going to disengage and try to move away from Randall and his flying magic weapon. He only gets about 15 feet away and keeps his eyes trained on what you're doing, or going to do next. "Give over! Bad form using magic! Fight me honestly or not at all!"

The Captain tries to lift one booted foot and take a step and then tries to take another, all told he only manages 5 feet and is still 10 feet away. You see he considers for a moment going for his two daggers but thinks better of it feeling outmatched by the magical displays.
"Mercy! Mercy! Lads have mercy on an old pirate captain. We're no match for your magic and only wished for some supplies to see us over for a few weeks. You win, we know when we're licked." Looking around and seeing Peg-leg Pete also doesn't look so good he asks Harry the 'Hook' for aid, "Help me disembark 'Hook' my old friend I fear I may be a cripple for the rest of my life."
(You do see a noticeable limp.)
