Curious George: Cape Ahoy

It was a dark and stormy night

out on the open sea.

The legendary ship, The Shiny Cutlass,

was still in trouble.

Admiral Boggs was worried.

With a tangled topsail the ship

was bound to run aground.

The crew's only hope was...

Captain Trumpet-Tooter!

Nicely done, Trumpet-Tooter!

Ahoy! Pirates!

Using his trusty spyglass,

Trumpet Tooter spotted the pirate ship.

If he didn't act fast, it would surely catch them.

Whoa!

Our map!

What shall we do now?

Trumpet-Tooter didn't need a map.

A sailor goes where the wind takes him.

But what if the wind takes us

straight into that?

Everything's getting wet.

George!

Too much splashing.

Look, I-- I know how excited you get by these

Trumpet-Tooter books, but now it's bedtime.

The whale can wait.

We need a good night's sleep,

because tomorrow is our vacation to Coddington.

Got a second, George?

These are my souvenirs from when I went

to Coddington as a kid.

Oh.

It was my favorite vacation ever.

And I now want it to be yours's too.

Ah! My napkin from the Codfather restaurant.

Oh, best spaghetti and codballs you'll ever have.

Whoa!

Cod light

from the Coddington Museum.

Pretty neat, huh?

And best of all...

Cod Fest.

The day when the whole town becomes a carnival.

There are rides, games, balloons.

Oh, and not only did I put our whole schedule

on this handy-dandy card...

I programmed it into my watch.

I'm setting the first alarm for dawn.

We'll get there early and spend the day at the beach.

Okay, one more chapter,

just to help you sleep.

"The whale was headed straight

for Trumpet-Tooter.

But he knew...

just...

what to do..."

Aah! George!

We slept through our alarm.

We are behind schedule.

Uh. Flip-flops!

Uh, beach toys.

Floaties!

George, the floatie doesn't need to be inflated yet.

It's not going to fit.

George!

Aah.

Hey, look.

We finally made it, George.

The Comfy Cod Bed and Breakfast.

* Up and up and up and up *

* And the ship sank down *

* Diddly-down down down down down *

* And down down and up and up and up *

Uh, uh.

Hello?

Uh, uh. Ahoy!

I'm Captain Elmer.

Come in, come in.

Ooh.

Oh, here.

I made you

a welcome snack platter.

Uh, mini-marshmallows

with cheese balls?

Also a great bait for fish.

Hm.

I'm sorta new at this

Bed and Breakfast stuff.

I'm usually a fisherman.

Fisherman.

Never would have guessed.

Ooh, that's a hook remover.

Yeah, yeah.

Found it with my

trusty metal detector.

Along with all these little treasures.

And there's more

where that came from.

The ocean's full of treasures,

mysteries, and adventures.

Ever work one of those before?

I knew straight-off

you were a sea monkey.

Uh-uh.

Now let's see how you cast.

This monkey's a natural.

Now reel it in.

Uh, take in the slack.

You hooked something.

Maybe it's a flounder.

Or a...

My niece Emma?

Hello, Hello.

Oh, sorry.

You must be the new guests.

Ted...

and George.

I thought I'd make your guests some healthy welcome smoothies.

Uh.

A nice fried codfish

is what they're wanting.

Can't stop dreaming about cod,

can you, uncle?

You can take it from here, uncle.

Well, bye for now.

Oh! Time to check the schedule.

Bedtime.

Oh, guess he runs a tight ship, huh?

Well, your bedroom is just this way.

Oh, hey look!

You can see the lighthouse from here.

Ow!

Hm. Yup.

Looks like we missed everything on today's list.

But we'll find a way to squeeze

it all in tomorrow.

See you in the morning, George.

Huh. I wonder who that is with Captain Elmer.

She looks familiar.

Uh, no, no, let me show you just one more, Gertrude.

I-- I found it last Tuesday.

Ta-da!

Looks historical, doesn't it?

Good enough for the museum?

Not even close.

Good day, Elmer.

Ahoy!

Oh, hey, captain,

who was that?

Gertrude St. John.

Head of the Coddington Museum.

The museum?

George, we're going there this afternoon.

Oh, I hope it hasn't changed too much

since I was a kid.

What? Changed?

I don't know if it's even been dusted.

But hey, how about a tour

of Coddington Bay

in the Happy Clam? Huh?

What do you say, George?

Would you like to be my first mate?

Oh, uh, boat trip
