Description

A spirited crew of seasoned traders and their daring youngsters set sail aboard the sleek merchant yacht Seagull, cruising from San Francisco toward the exotic shores of Mexico. Their first mission leads them to Magdalena Bay, where they deliver much‑needed mail and supplies to a lively torpedo flotilla under Lieutenant Allerton. The encounter introduces a colorful mix of characters—Captain Steele, his steadfast uncle Naboth, and the curious naval officers—while the vivid coastal scenery paints a picture of early‑20th‑century adventure on the Pacific.

As the sun sets on their first stop, the crew reflects on a lifetime of voyages and the promise of new horizons. Plans are already afoot for a bold passage around Cape Horn toward the Atlantic, hinting at further escapades and hidden treasures. Listeners will be drawn into the camaraderie, the humor, and the restless spirit that drives these boy fortune hunters toward the next great quest.
