We are transported to the Norfolk Broads following the Ds on their Easter holiday, staying with a friend of their mother on a yacht. After their sail up the lake on the sledge they are keen to learn to sail but Mrs Barrable dashes their hopes until she meets an outlaw who is good in boats and with his twin friends is invited to teach the Ds to sail and skipper them all down into the south of the area. Thrills and spills ensue with the twins and outlaw thinking that Admiral Barrable is rather rash. They are found by the Hullabaloos, rowdy tourists in a motorboat, who are seeking the outlaw, but driving without due care as usual, the Hullabaloos wreck their boat and an exciting life or death rescue ensues with more of the outlaw’s friends the heroes of the day. (All the places in the East Anglian books are real.)
