'Ahoy! Ahoy! Swallows! Ahoy!' Have you ever sailed in a boat or built a camp?

Titty and Roger return to the lake full of such plans and they can't wait to
meet up with Nancy and Peggy, the Amazon Pirates.
'Why do they call him Black Jake? Is it because of his hair?' Titty asked.
'Because of his heart' said Peter Duck. The Swallows and Amazons, as well as
Captain Flint and the ancient able seaman Peter Duck, set sail on the Wild Cat
bound for the Channel.
Nothing except a polar expedition full of mountain rescues, blizzards, igloos, ice saling, illness and heroic work amidst the fozen wastes. For Dick and Dorothea newcomers to the lake, meeting up with the Swallows and Amazons prove to be adventure.
