Apologetics I read say that Nephi wasn't commanded to build the boat after they'd been doing the shifting sands shuffle for 8 years!
I realize the BoM is bad fan-fiction, so is the wandereing bit an homage to the Jews wandering in the desert for 40 years (on a trip that should have taken 3 weeks, tops) so that Lehi (or Nephi) comes off as a Moses-type guy? Or was JS hedging his bets in case someone noticed he got geography wrong? Or course, for apologists, he got frikkin' lucky by choosing a spot on the map that kinda-sorta is a place that fits the BoM where could build his boat and find food.
