Wow, simply beautiful. The descriptions are breath-taking and strinkingly visual, I feel like I can imagine him standing on the bow of that ship, with the wind blowing over him. *fangirls* Anyhoo, amazing job with bringing a thoughtful moment in time to life. I love how you developed Norrington's awareness of the world, like when he noticed his skin changing colors or he finally noticed the appearance of his uniform.

The actual idea of Norrington coming on to the Flying Dutchman is great, too! Quite plausible, I'd like to think, and I'm sure he and Will have a lot of catching up to do. ^^ I loved this, can't wait to see more from you!
