Anthony introduces the next segment where the crew is planning a surprise birthday party for the captain.

Captain Feathersword – Sailing Around the World - Captain Feathersword remarks how today is his birthday but his pirate crew have all forgotten about it. He even put up signs around the ship, but thinks no one has seem them. Some of the pirates come by and report on their tasks. The captain asks them what day it is, and they answer Tuesday, or everything except his birthday. Of course they all know it's his birthday but are keeping it a surprise. Alfonso and Elefterios play a song while the Captain looks out at the window. Captain remarks again that no one remembered his birthday and he heads up to the deck. Alfonso and Elefterios give thumbs up to the camera, obviously in on the joke. The crew gathers and they decorate the cabin.
