This half-hour children's show was set in the living room of a retired sea captain, who was played by Ray Bellew. His regular visitors included the postman; a magical friend named Vincent Vagabond; the cook, Charlie Lee; and an old friend, Corky. The skipper also gathered other guests, including singers, dancers, musicians, and hobbyists. Guests ranged from a model boat builder to a kung fu instructor to former Newfoundland Premier Joey Smallwood. The series was broadcast locally before being promoted to the national CBC network in the final season.
