    Well shiver me timbers and throw me scuppers overboard

    An obsessive sea captain sets sail for the arctic with a most unlikely crew of landlubbing misfits. They had many adventures, mishaps, and verbal sparring matches along the way, but the most troubling thing of all was the Brit government was after them. They were chased much of the way by Her Majesty's air force, coast guard, navy, and a pompous bureaucrat. All because the captain's boat didn't square away with seagoing rules and regs. Wonder what this chase cost the government? Good picture.
