The fourth book in the 'Tales of Walcombe Bay' Series for children and the forever young at heart! These stories have the feel-good factor of the traditional British beach holiday resort where children build sandcastles with parents and grandparents who in their childhood did the same. The series of stories can be read or listened to individually or sequentially. The captivating original Illustrations are by Caroline Appleyard who, when specifically invited by the author, has married her wonderful naïve style to harmonise with the text. Walcombe Bay is a very special fictional seaside resort on the South Coast of England, encompassing Walcombe town with its thriving high street, lovely harbour full of boats and best of all, the safe, sun-kissed sandy shores of Sandy Bay lie just a short distance away. Seymour is the ferryboat that takes families from the town harbour to the delights of the Sandy Bay beach and the delicious food of its beachside café - The Winking Winkle. He is crewed by Skipper Salt and his son Jack. Seymour is so much more than an ordinary ferryboat, though, as he has feelings and a personality all of his own! However, Seymour cannot work without the aid of his buddy, Tooting Ted, the sea-paddling tractor. Once Seymour the ferryboat has brought the beachgoers as close to the shore as he can get, it’s Tooting Ted who then takes over and transports them to the beach, ensuring they get there without even getting their feet wet! In this exciting tale, the weather suddenly changes for the worse, a treacherous fog descends and Tooting Ted puts a wheel wrong, leading to a dramatic rescue!
