Synopsis
Hubert is excited to spend two weeks at the sea, but cast down when he discovers that he is the only child among a host of adults looking for peace and quiet. He meets hotel handyman Alf, who shows him many interesting aspects of nature and mechanics. Alf has even built a glider, and when they try it out Hubert is carried away on a gust of wind. After an exciting flight (disturbing the adults) he lands more or less safely. Hubert hopes that they'll return to the Sea View in the following summer.
