Don't Rock The Boat

(Alternatively titled 'The Main Character is an i***t')

Edwin Blackburne is a poor teenager from the town of Melderdale. When he is forced to steal in order to eat, his pure genius plan lands him in jail. As he's serving his (admittedly short) sentence, the prison is stormed and Edwin is thrown into a bag and onto a boat. Having not met the captain's expectations of their captive, he works as a deckhand until they can find a place to drop him off. Along the way, however, he proves himself useful, and meets Sebastian Lizard, who ends up giving him a lot more than he bargained for.
