So in our attempts to find a use for boating, our characters have created a new and challenging courtly game, Falcon Boating. Especially useful in impressing foreign knights with the wonders of Cymri culture, we like to take them out to the local lake or river and falcon from boats. What better way to pass the doledrums of winter than to go out onto an icy piece of water, with plenty of mead in our bellys, and play with our birds!
On a similar note, I can't wait until the opportunity comes up for one of my knight's squires, "little man" Tate can perform his squirely skill of swimming. I envision him pulling Sir Orwaine out of some fast moving river! Or faced with the task of saving a drowning lady, the noble and valorious Sir Orwaine orates, "Tate, the water looks cold, save the poor lady for me!"

That's great. LoL for me. I might stick this in as a "foreign custom" that the Pcs have to deal with.

I do not know why, but I as a player obtain a huge amount of satisfaction to give orders like that to my squires.

Oh wait, yes I do know why.
After raising kids, and managing a small business for decades, it is just nice to give such orders and have them followed. :D
