It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to my best buddy and longtime friend, Sam the Tugboat and the beautiful, sunny, pleasant and idyllic coastal community of Beach Harbor! Please allow me the opportunity to paint a portrait of childlike wonder, sweetness and light as I pull back the curtain to take you, my special guests, on a short tour of Sam’s world especially for you.

Somehow, Sam and those who help him, always find a way to save the day to keep everyone safe and sound – especially little children!

A colorful and festive array of flags, pennants and streamers flew above the castle’s silver-white stones and pointed slate-shingled turrets. Jennifer was speechless and spellbound at the sight!

Captain Grayghost eventually faded from the scene after decades of plundering ships on the high seas between the years of 1675 and 1721, seemingly retiring after years of pirating to spend his golden years treasuring his hoard of gold, silver and precious gems in a secret hideout that was never discovered.
