Question about the Ghost Pirate. Can you place a Lair on Spooky Island if the Ghost Pirate hasn't been moved yet?

That's one of the differences between the original German rules and the Mayfair rules: In the original version you can only place a lair on Spooky Island when you have the most of the Coco cards which allow to move the Ghost Captain, and therefore he has to be moved at least once. In the Mayfair rules, all Coco tiles are counted, which can lead to the situation where the Ghost Captain hasn't already been moved when the first bought Coco tile isn't a tile which moves the Ghost Captain. But I think the situation that Ghost Captain and lair will be on Spooky island will not last very long and therefore will not have much influence on the game. Please consider that the game is designed for kids and therefore the rules are simplified.
