Join Captain Dave, his talking lobster first mate Larry, and a group of curious children as they embark on an educational sailing adventure through the Gulf Islands. What begins as a simple lesson in navigation through Active Pass turns mysterious when an unusual fog rolls in, revealing a ghostly sailing ship from the 1920s.
Following this phantom vessel, they discover a hidden cove with an abandoned lighthouse containing the logbook of Harold Jenkins, a dedicated lighthouse keeper who disappeared in 1923 while trying to report dangerous, unmarked rocks in the passage. The logbook contains vital navigation information that never reached authorities. The children help Captain Dave deliver this historical document to the Maritime Museum and Coast Guard, completing the lighthouse keeper’s century-old mission.
