Ahoy, me hearties!

Today, I'm a pirate.

I'm the captain of the scariest ship on all the seven seas.

The Rubber Duck.

OK, today we be digging for buried treasure

on Boulder Island.

Hmm, that's weird. Boulder Island's just disappeared.

I wonder why Boulder Island's disappeared,

but the fearsome Rubber Duck is still here.

Hmm. When you need to know, go to Okido!

-Messy!

-Ahoy there, me maties!

Messy! Why are you wearing that hat?

Oh, this? This is because today I'm being a pirate!

What are you doing today, maties?

We're going to see whales!

Once a year all the whales in Okido get together and sing

a beautiful song. Zim, Zam and Zoom have a boat for us.

Would you like to come?

Oh! A chance to go aboard a pirate ship? That would be brilliant!

Wa-ha-harrr!

Let's ski-doodle, Okidoodle!

Do you like the ship's wheel we got you, Messy?

Oh, yeah! It's the perfect present for a pirate cap'n like me.

All right, Zoom. Stop!

This is where the whales should be.

Oh. I don't see them.

Hmm. We're here early.

What shall we do before the whales come?

Oh! I packed a picnic. We could have it now.

-Oh.

-Oh, yeah.

-I am a little peckish.

Sounds good. But we'll have to find a place to have it.

A-ha!

How about there?

A desert island!

A place where a pirate might find treasure!

Let's go there, let's go there, let's go there, let's go there!

Now steady on, calm down, Messy.

Let's see what everyone else thinks.

Who wants to go to the desert island?

CHANTING: Island, island, island!

Oh, well, that's it then. Let's go!

What a nice place for a picnic.

Yeah. It's an even nicer place for a pirate to find buried treasure!

OK. You do that, Messy.

Zoom is going with you.

We don't want you getting into too much trouble.

See you laters, sailors!

Come on, Zoom. We're going treasure hunting! A-harrr!

-Hey!

-Thanks, Felix.

Treasure hunting is hungry work.

Oh, Messy!

Hmm, now where might the treasure be buried?

I know, I'll check the treasure map.

Arrr, of course!

The treasure must be...

here! X marks the spot. Come on, Zoom.

Right, let's see how much booty we found.

Oh!

OK.

Treasure must actually be...here.

And by here, I actually meant...

here.

Er, I mean...

We should try and save some for Messy and Zoom.

Yes. I'm sure they won't be digging for long though.

I mean here!

Behold! The long lost treasure of...

Oh! I can't believe we haven't found any treasure yet.

Where else can we dig?

Oh!

Here.

Of course I'm sure! What could go wrong?

Oh.

That could go wrong.

Ahoy there! Come back, boulder!

-Huh?

-Huh?

Well, there goes lunch.

Zoe, Felix, Zim, Zam, where did the...?

Uh-oh.

The boat's gone! We're trapped on the island.

Don't worry, Felix. Zoom, you can turn into a boat, right?

I don't think this is going to be big enough for us.

It's all right, everyone. Don't panic! Don't panic!

For goodness' sake, don't panic!

Now, come along. Look.

Just don't worry. All we have to do is build a brand-new boat.

Felix, Zoe, Messy - if you three find a good building material

for a new boat, we can build it.

Hey, maybe we could use the rock to sail on.

I mean, it destroyed the old boat. Maybe it would make a good new one.

Hmm. Well, let's do a test, eh, Messy?

What happens when you put a rock in the water?

Zoom, could you move the rock for us, please?

Probably shouldn't make a boat out of a rock.

Quite. Rocks don't float.

They sink.

And boats have to stay near the top of the water, don't they?

Exactly, Zoe.

Hey, a feather.

Would that float on water?

Yay! The feather's not sinking.

That's right, Zoe. The feather is staying around the top of the water.

That means it's floating. Floating is the opposite of sinking.

Great! So you can make the boat out of feathers, and then off we go.

Not quite. Feathers may float,

but I don't think we can build a boat out of them.

If a little weight is added on top of the feather,

it sinks.

A boat made out of feathers would sink if we got onto it.

Right.

So we need a building material that floats, and that's strong enough

to support us in water.

Let's look around the island and find something that will work.

Let's go!

Oh, this is my fault for pretending to be a pirate.

Oh, Messy. It's OK. We know you didn't mean it.

I didn't but... Oh, I'll stop being a pirate now.

Messy! Your ship's wheel!

Look, it's floating!

You're right. The wheel does float.

And...

it keeps floating when weight is added on top.

What's this wheel made of?

It's wood.

Of course. Wood comes from trees

and there are lots of trees on the island,

so we can use them to build our boat.

Exactly. First though, we need to design it.

It doesn't have to be boat-shaped to float,

but it'd be good to model it on something.

Can you see anything that's shaped like a boat?

Boat-shaped.

Of course!

If we design the new boat like that, we'll be off this island in no time!

Hoo-hoo! Shiver me timbers!

Now me pretending to be a pirate is saving the day!

Shiver me timbers!

Now we just have to hope it floats.

Life jackets on, then all aboard!

Let's see some whales!

Oh, dear.

I'm sorry, everyone. I think we might be too late.

So no whales.

It doesn't look like it, I'm afraid.

But we tried so hard to get here.

What's that?

-Here they are!

-Here they are!

Wow!

Hello, whaleys! Wa-hey-hey!

Amazing.

Oh, my word. Look at that!

-Bye, whaleys!

-Bye, me hearties!

-Bye, whales!

-Thanks for the show!

Oki-yo-ho-ho! What an adventure!

And now, it's time for me to go home.

Goodbye, landlubbers!

Goodbye, Captain Messy!

So, now we know some things float

and other things sink.

Ha-harrr!

See you later, mateys!

Balabalaboomboom!
