Eshim's current long-term goal is to save up enough money to buy a ship, hire a crew, and sail away from his troubles. He doesn't consider much else in the future to be worth thinking about.
Short-term goals include:
+Finishing this latest batch of ale, which he's made from blueberries
+Dipping his toes into the lucrative world of drug smuggling
+Getting a nice, new pipe (his old one was stolen)
