The Carl Barks Library of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories in Color #42
In "Sitting High," Donald Duck takes the helm of the rickety schooner Daffy-O for the annual Fishermen's Gold Cup, racing against seasoned rivals to win the trophy for Uncle Scrooge—no small task with a crew of misfit nephews and a ship that barely floats. With only a mysterious "secret device" from Scrooge to rely on, Donald and his luckless crew must outwit the odds, all while Carl Barks’ signature charm and visual wit bring every creak and splash to life. The story, written and illustrated by Barks himself with inks and colors by Barks and Eric Vincent, features a cover by Barks that captures the absurdity and determination of the voyage.

Aboard the good schooner Daffy-O, unseaworthy Donald, with the boys and a "lubber crew", must win the Fishermen's Gold Cup for Uncle Scrooge at the annual cod fishing competition... or else. While disadvantaged in almost every way, Scrooge has provided Donald with a "secret device" to compensate - the nature of which is unknown to Donald and his crew.
