Jeff Spicoli set sail that day for a three hour tour


In a tribute to the late Bob Denver, actor Sean Penn demonstrates the comical aspects of inept seamanship by boarding a boat with a hole in it. As Penn bailed out with a plastic cup, he assumed a high, strained voice and yelled “Skipper! Help!” to the forced laughter of his entourage.

Actual caption: "US actor Sean Penn bales water out of a boat with a plastic cup as he and members of his entourage make an attempt to rescue stranded people in New Orleans. Efforts by Penn to aid New Orleans victims stranded by Hurricane Katrina foundered badly Sunday, when the boat he was piloting to launch a rescue attempt sprang a leak. Penn had planned to rescue children waylaid by Katrina's flood waters, but apparently forgot to plug a hole in the bottom of the vessel, which began taking water within seconds of its launch."
