I'm a bit under the weather this weekend and haven't gone out except for a walk along the Backs. Making my way along the river, it struck me that I've spent quite a bit of time sailing the Broads lately. It's not something I would have pictured myself doing even five years ago. Now I rearrange my weekend schedule before knowing whether anything is

I'd come, but you not wanting to be cooped up on a barge with an alchie, are you Remus?

Boats are cool, they're fantastic!

Don't worry, I'll just cry when you don't invite me!

[minister_lupin]

Well, it's said that drinking makes for better sailors.

Of course you're invited, Charlie.

Do I get seduce you with rum, sodomy and the lash then?

Can we be pirates, stalking the Norfolk Broads at four miles an hour?

Please? I'll provide the hats?

[minister_lupin]

I can see the headlines already -

The Arrr of Living Dangerously
What Shall We Do With a Drunken Minister
Yo Ho Ho and a Botty of Boys
XXX Marks the Scoff
Jolly Rogered!

Need I go on?

(You can still bring the hats, though.)

Are you looking for company, Minister? I'd be delighted to join you. I'm very fond of boats of any sort.

[minister_lupin]

Splendid. If you're familiar with boats then we won't need a skipper.

And you're welcome to bring anyone else you think might be interested.

I don't count as one of the boring Ministry types, do I, Remus?

I haven't been on the water in so long.

[minister_lupin]

If you were any less boring we'd have to have a mediwitch on staff full-time.

Glad you want to go. It'll be good to spend time with people who don't need naps after each meal.
