While trying to escape from Fort Joy, I ran into a young boy named Han beside a boat. I talked with Han and we agreed we needed to get out of here. I interacted with the boat but decided to "Leave the boat for now".
I figured now that i had an escape i should go around and check everything out. Once done I decided to go back to the boat but it was gone and so was Han. I reloaded a save (Hours of gameplay back) to see what happens when i take the boat. Well there is a decent chunck of xp and some conversation... I'm not sure if its intended that Han leaves or not but in the case that it isn't i decided to make this post.
Also i checked the beach where the boat would of sailed to and it wasn't there.
Not a happy camper.
I think leaving the dungeon prison makes him leave. Since I think he tells you to hurry. Would be nice if he said something like "I'll go on without you if you don't hurry.". But oh well.
There's many more ways out of Fort Joy. Sneaking around Judge's room
Having Paladin guy help you fight your way out.
Sewer exit by the lunatic with the Face Ripper in his inventory.

You'll meet Han again in the marshes at the camp.
