Mixing some sea-shanties into the score, we explore the relationship between mankind and water. What will float and how to propel it? Logs become boats, paddles, oars then sails... Navigation? Maybe the stars can help? Progress shrank the world - but was it really flat? Could you sail off the end, get eaten by a monster, captured by menacing pirates or drowned when Poseidon throws a strop! "Goofy" becomes an expert in semaphore, too - and horn-piping! He will be as fit as a fiddle by the end, and able to stand up straight in choppy waters tying all kinds of interesting knots. Metal ships illustrate the ultimate in maritime mastery as the 1944 wartime message is brought home at the end. It all knits together quite well here with an engaging narration and though a bit repetitive, is quite enjoyable.
