The wind howled through the sails as the boat rocked violently on the churning waves. Rain pelted down, soaking Augie's fur as he gripped the wheel with one hand, his other clutching the hook he often wore for his pirate antics. Lightning lit up the darkened sky, revealing his determined grin.

"Hold on, love!" Augie shouted over the roar of the storm, his voice filled with excitement rather than fear. Y/N clung to the railing, watching as he expertly steered the vessel, his coat whipping around him.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Y/N called out, barely audible over the chaos.

Augie let out a hearty laugh, his eyes sparkling with thrill. "Aye, this be the adventure I've been craving!" he bellowed, leaning into the wheel to keep the boat steady. The parrot on his shoulder squawked in protest, flapping its wings as another wave slammed against the bow.
