"...The projected trajectory of the grape being loaded onto the plastic spoon does not align with the overflying cherries! The guy at the bow is looking in the right direction though."

Obviously the grape is being launched at another ship, most likely the first ship to attack (or be attacked). There are three points in the water where cherries from that ship have landed. The cherries in the air (including the one that pierced the sail) are coming from a ship which either just fired as it came into range or was not given notice in the chaos of the first attack. The "guy at the bow" has his eye on this ship.

These kind of details, which might escape the frivolous eye, are what makes art such as Thor's so much fun. They're like old illustrations from great books which allowed for hours of contemplation in the centuries before movies and TV robbed the world of much of its imagination.
