The Muse asks: What would constitute a "perfect" evening for you?

I suppose that, to begin with, I would like to spend the afternoon with my family and say a proper farewell to Sophie and the children before sailing upon the evening tide. Bonden might row me out to the ship, and for once Killick might smile a little at how well my sea chest has been packed.

With Pullings aboard, I have no great concerns that our departure should not run smoothly, though I would of course be on deck until the sails were set and the harbor behind us. On a perfect evening, the wind would fill the sails at once, and I would see the stars emerge one by one. Then below, for a late meal, conversation and music with stephen_maturin. Ideally our destination would offer the opportunity both for prizes and the sorts of things that interest a natural philosopher, and we would talk fondly of our hopes for the voyage. Truly I think I could ask for no more.

Whatever can this mean?
