About This Book

A Sea Scout patrol refits their motor-boat Olivette and embarks on a planned cruise across the Channel and up the Seine; during the voyage the lads confront theft, a stowaway, engine breakdowns, dangerous tides, a drifting derelict, and other hazards that test their seamanship and resourcefulness. Episodes combine hands-on repairs, navigation challenges, pump-and-rescue efforts, and encounters with local characters, while the crew's teamwork and their dog mascot repeatedly help avert disaster and bring them safely back to home waters.
