A boy and a bear go to sea, equipped with a suitcase, a comic book, and a ukulele. The bear assures the boy that they are traveling a short distance and it really shouldn't take very long.

The odds are pitted against the boy and the bear and their boat. Will the Harriet , their trusted vessel, withstand the violent lashings of the salty waves?
