The kids of Flake commandeer the drakkar under Gilby's lead and hoist the anchor. Vic tries to convince him to surrender the command to him, but Gilby won't listen, even though he doesn't know beans about navigation! The drakkar gets ever further from the coast. Overcome by sea-sickness, Gilby finally abandons the command to Vic under pressure from the other children. Vic manages to round up two trained seals and sends them in search of a whale to rescue them. The whale pushes the drakkar back to Flake, bringing the children home safe and sound.
