At Home with Martin & Sylvia

Many Hands

Martin and Sylvia get a joyful lesson in the importance of working together when they get to sail on a big sailboat with their friends, the Webers. They see how everyone has an important job, and that the boat won't sail properly without everyone's help. The biggest lesson of all is that working together is not only important — but lots of fun.
