Ooh, I like that! I could imagine Rodney's reaction to the camping trip idea and his relief at Gall's interruption (and that is a nice touch, setting up for The Defiant One and all its angstyness). Thanks!

PS - Go, sail the net, write a pirate fic, make it AU to reality if you need to... After all, pirate movies don't tend to be very realisitc, do they? Or am I wrong? Was Pirates of the Caribbean based on historical accuracy?!! *vbg*
