Summary: Antonin and Morag are looking for a new boat
Morag had been intrigued by some of the larger luxury yachts Antonin's broker had listed. Although they really weren't the sort of sailboat Antonin was interested in purchasing, he had arranged a three-day charter of the Felicita West from Sicily to Greece, so the Med was their next stop.
Antonin and Morag walked side-by-side down the deepwater dock, seabags over their shoulders, headed for their schedule boarding time. Antonin took a deep breath and let out a low whistle through his teeth when he saw the velvet ropes on gilded stanchions leading to the gangway of the Felicita. He whistled again and nudged Morag when he got a good look at the yacht, and the crew standing at attention on deck waiting to receive them. "Good thing I paid in advance for the charter," he whispered to Morag with a grin, "or they might not let us on board." Morag just gave Antonin a glare and stalked up the gang plank.
Two days later they headed down the gang plank again, having been pampered and catered to by an extremely attentive and well-trained crew during their entire short cruise. Almost by reflex, they turned on the dock to give the yacht one last look. "Nice place to visit," Antonin said quietly, "But I wouldn't want to live there," Morag finished for him. "Three days and they never shut down the machines and just sailed the boat. It reminded me of a muggle hotel with sails stuck on the top."
Shouldering their seabags, they headed up the dock to shore.
