A man and his two daughters set out to sail around the world, but shipwreck on the Alaskan coast.

It soon becomes clear that the gruff but humane captain runs a tight ship as he drills his neophyte crew on the importance of teamwork and discipline. The boys possess a wide range of temperaments--there's the bully the daredevil the one plagued by insecurities the one with demanding parents.
