Thanks, Joel.
Morning, Hank!
Beautiful day to be alive, Alison!
Ah, I can't argue with that!
You had a good catch today.
You must have been up bright and early.
Early birds get the fish. Or something like that.
Thanks for taking me out, Hank.
Sure.
[message notification }
Ah, yeah. There he goes.
That is one busy guy.
Yeah, well, you've been a little busy yourself, huh?
I've come by the restaurant a few times
and you haven't been there.
Well, fish and chips wait for no man...
Er woman.
You know what I'm saying.
What I think you're saying is that
you don't want to talk about it.
Look Hank, it's official, okay?
My parents have retired
and sailed off to their dream destination.
And I'm almost finished wrapping business up with the new owners.
I still don't see why you don't want to take over.
Well, first my parents need their nest egg to travel.
And second, third and fourth, I have travel dreams of my own.
Well take it from this old sea dog,
I've sailed all over the world and nothing compares
to what we have right here in Otter's Port.
Maybe for you, Hank.
But, I still want to see it for myself.
Maybe everything you need is right here.
You just can't see it.
Uh hmm. Well, I'll take that und
Well this wise man is going to get this fish in batter
before the noon crowd gets restless.
I still want to talk about the hand over details.
You know, and introduce you to the new manager.
[Hank] I don't like new people.
Alison!
Oh, perfect timing.
Can I get a rain check?
I promise I'll make nice with this new manager,
but I may have to pull a few of
in the meantime.
Uh huh. Hmmm.
Well, you're going to need a bigger boat, Hank.
Hey Roger.
I was just going to do a quick eyeball of the boats
so we can verify the launches today.
I need to be included, okay? You
Aye aye, Captain.
[Roger] Uh, Daniella...
We don't enough boats launching this morning,
so I'm thinking we push the ones from this afternoon
and then that way we'd actually
Twenty-five seasons, Roger.
That's how long I've been launching boats.
Okay, well I'm supposed to be overseeing all of that now,
Daniella. So...
All I'm saying is that if we're a little bit more
efficient, we can half the amount of time
for the same amount of boats.
She has been putting boats in and out of dry dock for years.
Okay? She takes the time she needs to do it properly.
Excuse me. Who do I talk to about getting my boat out?
[Roger] Okay, so what's next?
Oh, the All Aboard.
Ah, right. The All Aboard. Right.
Yeah, I know that boat better than anyone.
She's been here as long as I have.
And she's one of my favorites.
Well, good, because she belongs to some very important people.
[Alison] Uh hmm. Yeah!
Clearly, so important they don't have time
to take out a beautiful classic like her.
You know, just some people take everything in life for granted.
Guilty.
But hey, don't let me interrupt your work.
I'm anxious to get that boat out on the water.
I've been so busy lately, being important and all.
[Roger chuckles] Mr. Cartwright!
We unfortunately have not been able
to get your boat in the water just yet.
We didn't know that you were going to be so...
So early.
[Roger chuckles]
I, I didn't mean that how it sounded, you know.
You know, it's just most people,
after a while, they, they sell it. So...
- Right. - Yeah.
I'm Roger. I'm the new manager here.
This is Alison. She's the outgoing manager.
Nice to meet you, Outgoing Alison.
I'm just part of the old management. Yeah.
We retired.
Oh. Well, I got to say you look great for your age.
[Roger laughs]
No. No no no no no, not me. My parents retired.
No no no no no no, not me. Far from it.
I'm actually going to crew a boat
that's crossing the Atlantic this summer.
It starts in Florida, and then over to the Caribbean,
and to the Mediterranean?
- The Atlantic. - Yeah.
So, ah, but, you know, enough about me.
Let's get you signed off in the office, right.
Roger? Roger...
[Roger] Ah, like she... Yeah.
- Great day! - Yeah.
So, your boat's been the subject of myth around here
for a long time.
Uh oh. A good one or a tragic one?
A puzzling one.
So what brings you back?
Are these official boat launch questions?
Oh.
I guess I'm just curious.
I've watched that boat sit lonely at the dock for years.
I always wondered why nobody ever came.
Hmm. That is strange.
The Cartwrights aren't typically so neglectful.
I guess if you knew my parents y
They have more vacation homes than they can remember
and more often than not, they go unused.
But, I have a lot of fond memories of this place
from when I was a kid so
I thought I'd spend some time here this summer.
Maybe try staying in one place a little while. You know?
I know all about that.
I've been in Otter's Port since I was 10 years old.
My parents fell in love with the marina
when we come here on a family vacation.
It was for sale and so they bought it.
And I've been here ever since.
That sounds like paradise.
Yeah, it was great.
I do love this place, it's just nothing compares to the feeling
I get from the glimpse of open water.
It's like taking a big breath.
And I'm looking forward to pulling up anchor
and getting out on the ocean.
Yeah, you mentioned that. When do you leave?
Three weeks.
I leave the day after I hand over the marina.
Well I hope to see you around till then, Alison.
Nice to meet you, Joel.
[Mason] Hey man.
You know you can always daisy chain that to keep it tidy.
[Joel] Oh.
No idea what that means.
[Mason] It's all right. I'll show you.
[Mason] So, they call this a chain sinnet.
It's used for condensing extra rope.
You just keep going through through and through...
That's it.
- Thanks. - Yeah, anytime.
I'm Mason by the way.
My wife Cindy and I are just a few slips down.
We got that 45 foot Hunter, Sail All Day.
All day? Better bring your sunblock.
Believe me, we're an FPS 60 couple, 30 in the winter time.
[Joel laughs]
I'm Joel.
Dude, we all know who you are.
Because, I'm...
Important?
No mate, because of the Marlowe Lounge.
Everyone goes and everyone talks.
Maybe we'll see you there sometime.
On weekends?
Anytime! We've got the summers off.
Cindy's an English professor and I teach coding.
Sweet.
It's a perk.
But I do a lot of off duty troubleshooting around here.
The accidental IT guy?
Mostly I just turn things off and back on again.
Usually fixes it.
[they both laugh]
Hey, actually, you know what?
Remind me next time I see you to lend you my
Big Book of Sailor's Knots.
It's a great way to impress the ladies.
Sounds like a deal. Thanks.
[Mason] You got it.
We should really get rid of all this clutter.
Why?
Well, free advertising.
This is our information board.
Boaters use it to communicate and to help each other out.
We're an extended family here, you know?
Actually?
It's a figure of speech.
I'll explain later. Yeah.
Alison!
- Hey! - Hey!
What?
This you got to see.
It's locked.
Where did this come from?
Something tells me your replacement
got excited about some creative cost saving ideas.
Ahh...
I'll talk to Roger.
I mean, Alison, where did they find this guy?
Has he ever even been on a boat before?
I think I saw him on a noodle in the pool last week.
Does that count?
No!
Just leave it with me. He'll come around.
[Joel V.O.] [reading]
Joel and Jen caught a turtle today
and were sad when we told them they couldn't keep it.
A life lesson about nature.
Joel wants to be a veterinarian now.
We'll see how long that lasts for an eight year old.
[Joel] Dad, I was 10!
[Joel reading V.O.] This place i
We just might make a summer habit of it.
[Alison] Hmmm... Good read?
Nostalgic.
Captain's Log, huh?
I found it in the tackle box.
I was reading some of my Dad's entries from when I was a kid.
Anything good? You know, surprising?
A little bit.
My parents used to be fun.
[Alison chuckles]
Well, there's a lot of people who remember your parents
being fun, around here.
This marina, it's like a fish bowl.
Well, I've been swimming with sharks for years,
so a fishbowl sounds good to me.
Oh. Sounds intense.
So, what are you, hiding away from it all up here?
I'd like to think not, no.
I just need a little distance to gain perspective on things.
[scoffs] And you choose Otter's Port to do that?
[Joel chuckles]
Yeah. It's the last place I remember
feeling the ground firmly under my feet.
Well just you wait until you get out onto the water.
[Adam] Okay, let's run this again.
You have actually given up a job running an entire marina,
a captain so to speak,
to become a down the ranks worker on an Atlantic crossing?
It's not as bad as it sounds.
It is a seven bedroom yacht that we are moving to
the Mediterranean for the family over the winter season.
Ahhh, okay. So sleeping in a luxurious staterooms?
No. No, I'll be in the bottom berths in the crew quarters.
Well your adventure sounds like an old historical novel to me.
It sounds very down market to me.
Hon, we all enjoy our boats and the water.
And I'm sure Alison knows her own mind.
Thank you, Adam. You know, it is my kind of fun.
So, have you picked a return date yet?
Ah...
Never?
Thanks.
You know it's my dream to cross the Atlantic.
You know what? As many places as I can.
Well, you have no strings keeping you here.
Ooh! Maybe you'll meet a rugged bosun.
Have fun now while you don't have a partner
or kids in the picture.
Hello? Best friend over here.
She is leaving us all remember.
I will still have wifi.
Sometimes. Maybe.
So we can video chat.
I hope.
But Robert is right.
You know, I need to, I need to seize the day.
To seizing the day!
Seize the day!
Mmmm! That was delicious, Hank.
Glad you liked it, son.
You know, no one anywhere makes fish and chips like you do.
Not London. Not Manchester.
Not Glasgow. Trust me.
Hey, I hope this doesn't sound rude, but
I can't believe you're still here after all these years.
Oh, listen.
You fall in love with a place, why would you leave?
I have no idea.
I guess I never really found a place to settle.
My parents are in London now. My sister is in New York.
Pretty high-powered cities.
Yeah. But been there, done that.
I'm looking for something more settled, I guess.
Well, Otter's Port in the summertime has a great blend
of professionals and locals from all snack brackets.
Hey, wait a minute!
[Hank chuckles]
There you are.
That is me!
Uh hmm. I remember that day.
Your Dad asked me to clean the fish
so that you could eat your catch.
Yeah, I remember that.
You let me use the big knife!
Yeah. Yeah, I got an extra tip for that too.
Plus hush money so I wouldn't tell your Mother.
Hey Skipper, did you approve that new supplier?
What new supplier?
I'm getting complaints about bowlines snapping.
It's that cheap rope.
No, I didn't approve this.
I figured as much. I'll talk to Roger.
No, I'll talk to Roger.
You know that we're going to have to handle
our own problems once you go?
Of course.
I just want to make things
as smooth as possible in the meantime.
Alison, you know your parents and I are so grateful that
you stayed for the hand over.
Get it off on the right track.
Well I'm happy to.
I'll be in the Mediterranean for the end of the summer
so I'll have plenty of boat time then.
And I am so excited for you, but being as a yachtie, you know,
life is pretty stressful on those 60 meter crews.
Don't play concerned mother figure now!
It's every sailor's dream to cross the ocean.
It was yours once too, remember?
Believe me I know the feeling.
When I was little, my parents and I, we spent months at sea.
Nothing but the open horizon in front of us.
I miss that.
I just feel like I've been at port forever.
You can start using forever when you reach my age.
And only then. [chuckles]
Do you remember a family from way back, the Cartwrights?
I'm better with boat names then people names.
The All Aboard says that the owners are John and Helen.
The All Aboard!
So they finally came back to claim her after all these years?
Yeah, 10.
But it seems it's just their son Joel.
Joel... Yeah I remember him.
A shy kid, a real bookworm. His sister was more outgoing.
It's weird. I don't remember ever meeting them.
Well, maybe they always came in July when you were at camp.
Could be. I never missed a summer.
One more thing about crewing on a yacht,
is that it isn't the easiest place to find love.
Tiny pond to choose from.
Well, good thing there will be plenty of fish
in the Mediterranean sea when I get there.
Hey, Alison.
Hi!
So this is the famous Marlowe Lounge, huh?
What are the charts?
Oh, I'm just studying for my upcoming crossing.
Ah, the port of Calais.
Yeah, I think we're docking there at the end of August.
So are you going to be navigating?
No no. I'm more on the deck side of things.
Stern or bow?
Actually, a little bit more on the deck hand side of things.
Ah...
Sounds amazing.
So you don't think I'm crazy to take on a grueling physical job
with terrible hours, at sea for weeks?
No. I think it will be a great experience.
Oh.
Well, you're the only one.
Maybe that's only because I don't know you that well yet.
I'm sure there's someone closer to you
who might be more of a help.
Well, there's, ah, Daniella.
And Cindy.
Wait! Mason's Cindy?
You know Mason?
Oh yeah. We go way back.
Oh.
To this afternoon.
[they both chuckle]
But, that's kind of my point.
It doesn't matter what I think.
It doesn't matter what anyone thinks.
That's a very refreshing perspective.
Thank you.
Of course.
It's easy to say when you have no stake in the game.
I don't blame your friends for wanting you to stay.
So, did I hear your parents just moved to London?
Yeah, new merger.
But as I said, I'm taking a little break
from the company to figure things out.
Okay, come on. What was it really?
A deal gone wrong, or a bad break up or...?
No no. Not this time.
I don't know what it is I'm looking for yet,
but I know what I don't want.
Well, for what it's worth,
I think knowing what you don't want is half the battle.
The life that you want it's out there, waiting.
You just have to keep moving in its direction.
I know it's out there for me.
Do you play darts?
Two years at boarding school in Dublin.
Roommate was a junior champion.
Dublin?
Okay, so where have you not been?
Let's see. There's Stockholm,
St. Petersburg...
[Joel V.O. writing] All engines are ship shape.
I met Mason from three slips down.
Met the outgoing marina manager, Alison Marlowe.
The winds are very calm.
[Alison] There you go. Thank you!
Beautiful day for the Regatta, don't you think?
Hey! Yeah.
What is it, too loud down by the docks?
Not really. I just thought I'd see if you needed any help.
You're here to take a break, remember?
Okay, fine, you got me.
I'm getting bored on the boat all by myself.
Well, you know you can take a man out of the workplace...
Just give me something to do.
I don't know, scale a fish maybe?
Scale a fis...
What exactly is it that you think marina owners do?
I don't know.
Organize boats and equipment and stuff?
Well, that is my checklist.
Okay. I'll check on Hank's ice supply.
Yeah, how about we do that together?
You don't think I can handle ice on my own?
Oh, I never said that.
[Hank] Oh, thanks Joel!
I'll grab a few more bags.
Great.
Hank.
Okay, something is up and I know it's not just me leaving.
It's fine. Really.
I know it's not fine because you just sailed right past me.
Okay.
The building inspector was here yesterday and, ah,
I'm not exactly up to code.
Well, I'm up to code for 1992.
What are you saying?
This whole place is one big building code violation?
It's mainly just the electrical.
And the ventilation. And the...
No, Hank, we have to figure this out, okay.
That inspector will file a report with the new owners.
And if we don't have a plan in place, they could shut you down.
Roger will shut you down.
Later. I promise.
Okay, but we have to figure this out before I leave, okay?
All right.
Well, I'm off to deal with any other race day disasters.
Okay, but before you go...
Where does Captain Hook buy his hook?
The second hand store!
[they both laugh]
You get me every time!
My best audience.
What am I going to do when you're gone?
Alison! Hi!
Hi Adam! Are you enjoying the party?
Yeah! Robert and I are. Thank you.
I did just want to let you know though that some people
have been complaining about the service at the fuel pump.
Some people?
Well, me, actually.
I would like to file a complaint.
Sure. Okay. What's the problem?
Well, there's never anyone there to help you anymore!
And you know how difficult that is to do on your own.
Waterways policy is one employee at the pump at all times.
Yeah, yup, that may be the policy
but there was no one there today for 45 minutes.
I'll get to the bottom of it.
Oh, also they changed the salad
I know real mayo when I taste it!
Thanks for letting me know.
Ugh, you know what? I'm sorry.
I forgot to talk to Roger about the towels.
I'm going to have to make a list.
That's fine, but before the guys come back with drinks...
Joel has been following you around
like a cute little puppy all day.
Yeah, he is pretty cute.
Ah, you agree!
What?
[laughs] Nothing.
Look, I'm about to cross the Atlantic, you know.
I'm going to be gone for weeks!
I know! How could I forget.
But, I mean, come on, there's still a little time
for some on-the-water romance he
Are you talking about Alison setting sail?
Um, I was just saying that maybe
before tackling the wild Atlantic.
Well, you're welcome aboard with us anytime.
I wasn't sure whether you were a lemonade girl or a peach girl,
so I got both.
Peach! Thank you.
Hey, you think you could afford to take a little break
from your Regatta duties?
Ah... I'm sure I can make that happen.
Cool.
I was finally going to load some supplies onto the boat
and could use some help.
Okay, well that doesn't sound like much of a break for me.
But I'd be happy to help.
So what exactly have you been surviving on
all this time?
Um, airplane snacks mostly.
Cheers to that.
[Joel] Hey, is it weird we didn't meet when we were kids?
[Alison] Kind of.
Except I went to camp every July when you were here.
So...
[Joel] My loss.
Although, I was a bit of a late bloomer.
Not sure you would have noticed me anyway.
Pre-laser surgery.
Oh... Well, I'm not sure you would have noticed me either.
Head gear.
Retainer.
Braces. The works.
I bet you were cute.
I'll be back.

She breathes life into everything
and everyone around her.
She's the heart and soul of this place, but
I don't know if she realizes it.
It can't be.
Hey are you hungry?
I was thinking of putting a little cheese board together.
Don't worry, there won't be an airplane nut in sight.
That sounds amazing but
I'm feeling pretty derelict in my Regatta duties.
I admire that.
A lot of people would be easing off
and letting new management handle everything.
Well everyone here is like family to me.
And you don't let family down.
Will I see you at the dance later?
You know what? I don't know.
I still have some more rounds to make
before the end of the sailing races, so...
No problem.
I'll try and catch you another time.
Yeah, I'm still here for two more weeks.
I know.
You were amazing!
You were!
Best couple crew in the 45 foot class!
And best couple that didn't argue!
Hey. Congrats. That's awesome!
Nice trophy!
Hey, I was going to make a cheese board.
Do you guys want to join?
Appetizer for one?
Kind of odd, but sure, cheese is my kryptonite.
Well, Alison was here but, you know, duty called.
How can anyone resist a man
who knows his way around a charcuterie?
I'm sure she'll be able to break away from work later
when the party is in full swing.
And we will be celebrating our victory.
Yes, eight years running!

Yes, that's seems very helpful
in not thinking about a certain boater with brie.
You know, nothing is going to stop me from taking this job.
The ocean has been calling me for years and I'm so close now.
Besides,
business guys like Joel they're always chasing the unattainable.

We could go to one of the islands.
Yeah.

All right!

[Alison] This is beautiful.
I've never been to this part of the island before.
Yeah.
I remember my parents used to anchor off
this beach sometimes.
We called it the hidden cove.
I'd set up a tent and camp out here some nights.
I had no idea this place even existed.
All these years...
There isn't much boat traffic, so
it's a perfect place to watch the sunset.
Well, I'll have to remember to do that before I go.
Mason lent it to me.

You take winters off, right?
Off?
You're kidding, right?
No, winter is when we work on the boats
and study new engine technology.
But you're not a mechanic.
Sometimes I am.
These outboard motors, they're easy,
but inboard motor or stern-drive engines,
they require a lot of work in the winter time.
There's a lot of protocols that you really have to know...

You're cute when you talk about engines.
Well you're cute when you talk about knots.

Yes!
He wanted to see one of the islands, so.

Daniella!
Where's Peter? Did he call in sick?
Are you kidding me? Roger let him go.
Who fires an employee without asking their supervisor?
Who fires anyone when we're so busy?
That's why the fuel pump wasn't staffed. Again.
No kidding! It takes five people

I was going to bring us a spinach dip in a bread bowl.
[chuckles] But I didn't have enough hands, so...
Any feedback so far? Anything I can take to...
Enough is enough, Roger!
Charging for towels?
Ordering cheap supplies, and now Peter!
These strategies aren't working!
Okay, the minimum fuel charge was not my idea.
This came from corporate, okay!
Yeah, well corporate is killing our business.
[Roger] Don't you agree people should just
get back out on their boats!
Well, if they can afford to!
Corporate doesn't care about that!
A classic cash grab.
You see? Our customers won't stand for it.
This is right in line with what head office wants, Alison.
Profitability.
He's right.
My parents only bought this place for the bottom line.
Nothing to do with the people.
Excuse me?
Your family is Waterways?
Your family is ruining my marina.
Waterways is under the Cartwright corporate umbrella.
But you knew that, didn't you?
Your Mom and Dad must have known that.
It's a huge corporation.
It's not like my parents actually know what's going on.
Not the details. The small detai
Is that all I am to you? A small detail?
No! I didn't mean it like that.
Look, they're more big picture, you know?
They don't get into the weeds much.
So my marina is just a patch of weeds?
No! Come on.
Every time I turn my back there's some
new Waterways corporate initiative.
To drive away my customers and bankrupt my marina.
But you already knew that, didn't you?
Why didn't you tell me?
I never meant to hide anything from you.
You didn't come back after all these years
because of happy memories or to help you find yourself.
You just wanted to steal some cheap crumb of nostalgia
while you watch the end of Marlowe Marina.

[knocking]
Hey.
I've been on the phone with my parents the last few days.
And?
And they're firm in their decision.
Well, there really isn't much to say then.
Wait.
I came to tell you my Dad agreed to do
an onsite visit this afternoon.
To check in on the investment.
Look, we can convince him to keep some of the elements that
make the marina attractive to boaters.
The ones your parents put in place.
We?
I know you are still upset with me,
but believe me I never meant to hide anything from you.
I guess I was trying so hard to distance myself from anything
to do with the business that I ended up with blinders on.
I didn't see what Waterways was doing.
I didn't want to get involved.
It's no excuse.
I know.
It would really mean a lot to have you at this meeting.
It would mean a lot to the marina too.
Will you at least think about it?
Hello, Dad.
Joel.
This is Alison. The owner of the former Marlowe Marina.
Yes, hi Alison.
Hi.
I knew your parents quite well.
They're great. They retired on a boat near Florida.
Ah! Great fishing there.
I'm sure that Bill is pulling in some whoppers.
I thought we could chat at the club.
We'll find you a jacket, of course.
[Alison] Thank you.
Joel, you should see the Tharnham estate now.
I thought the castle renovation was a debacle?
Castle?
It is a debacle. But it's your Mother's debacle.
I'm sorry, did you say you live in a castle?
It sounds grand, I know. But believe me, it's not.
It didn't even have a plumbing or heating when we bought it.
Apparently people didn't bathe the 1600's.
[Joel] I thought you decided on
Jen took it. Heaven forbid you two should talk
on the phone live in person.
We talk. She hired my replacement, remember?
Alison, I'm so sorry for all this family talk.
I am just confused and so is his Mother,
why he spends his days on an old boat
instead of running the Chicago office.
I asked you to come to talk about the marina.
Alison has been facilitating the change in ownership
and she's got some great input.
Of course, of course.
I looked at the numbers on the flight in.
You guys are in trouble.
I know, um, I, um...
It has nothing to do with Alison.
She's trying to tell Roger how to make it work,
but he's following Waterways' protocols and
they just don't fit into the pre
which was successful.
Right. Thanks.
What was the old business model?
Well, high quality customer service with a local touch.
Community-focused and geared toward long term repeat clients.
Sounds quaint but unsustainable in this economy.
[Alison and Joel] No!
There are plenty of businesses that do well on the water.
We could put up condos?
Condos? No!
Dad, you can't be flippant about this.
It's affecting people's lives.
What people?
Alison's friends for one!
Thanks, Joel.
I got you.
But Alison, you're the reason for the sale.
If you wanted to run your family business,
we wouldn't even be here.
So we were going to wait until the spring,
but with these new fuel fees, we might as well leave early
so I went ahead and I booked the fall cruise to Alaska!
Wow, this is what it's come to?
We can't even afford to enjoy our own waterways.
Please don't say that word!
Oh, Waterways!
I didn't want to tell you this, Alison,
but I can't avoid it any longer.
Roger told me they're considering reimagining
Marlowe Lounge into some self serve cafeteria next summer.
I can't wait around to see if that's true
so I took another job offer already.
I'm so sorry, Yvette.
Me too. I really love it here but my son is starting college
in a few years and I just need the job security.
I understand.
This entire transition is just turning into a nightmare.
Waterways is just this cost-cutting machine
that just keeps dealing blow after blow.
Well, it's not your worry.
You'll be gone soon enough.
She's right.
Just focus on the things you can control around here.
Like bringing back the better coffee.
I'll just add that to the complaints list.
I'm going to go to bed. I'll see you two in the morning.
Any headway with Joel's Dad?
No, I'm sorry.
He doesn't want to want to listen to me or Joel.
He couldn't have been that bad.
You know what? I get it now.
I understand why he's trying to escape that life.
I don't.
I mean, a castle in England sounds pretty awesome to me.
You would think.
But the conversation with his Dad just seemed cold somehow.
No, I'm sure his Dad loves him but at dinner it just felt...
Distant.
Well, at least you and Joel are talking again.
Yeah.
He tried to have my back but
it won't do me any good when I'm halfway across the Atlantic.
Please don't go.
This marina needs you.
Do you know what it's like to start out
as a female boat mechanic 20 years ago?
You know I had to prove myself and prove myself
over and over again because no one believed
a girl could actually fix their boat.
My Dad called me Daniel half of the time on the phone
with customers because he said it was easier to say
that his son was working on it.
You know, I made a lot of sacrifices
and I worked hard to get here.
You know, I headed up the marina with my own crew.
Got the respect that I deserve.
Until now?
I'm sorry.
I can't watch this place for you after you go.
I wish it wasn't the case, but you reminded me that life's
too short to stay somewhere you're not happy.
And I just can't do this, Alison.
And now I quit.

[Roger] I absolutely understand.
I believe I can turn it around.
It's nothing personal.
It may have been a mistake of an acquisition.
[Roger] No!
[John] I think it's just the case of
my wife wanting to recapture the love we had for this place
when we were raising kids.
I hope you can make this work, Roger.
What's going on?
It's over, Allie.
Roger says the marina can't pay to get me up to code.
No.
This place is an institution!
How dare you tell Hank that he has to go.
This is still my family's business!
Not in five days it's not.
Hank's should not be negotiable.
His place is a legend.
It's not safe!
You know what?
These Waterways' tactics, they're not working.
You know it, I know it and the Cartwrights know it.
But if we don't fix this mess,
they're going to rip this whole place down.
And that means you'll be out of a job!
You don't think I know that?
Why do you think I've been trying to
initiate all these changes?
I'm trying to turn a little bit of profit here!
Yeah! At the expense of customer service.
Why do you think I'm the bad guy at every step?
You never even asked me why I came here.
I was at Waterways' head office in the city,
but my wife Jenny has asthma.
And her doctor suggested we move for fresh air and all that.
So I took the job.
But now, everything is falling apart
and everything I try to do to stand it up backfires.
And I've got an outgoing manager who resents me.
And I have no idea how to get through to her!
Why didn't you tell me?
Because I'm supposed to be the one who's in charge!
We both are.
Yeah, well, you've got one foot out the door.
[Alison] I'm sorry that I haven't been more helpful.
[Roger] I just, I don't know how your family made a profit
all these years.
[Alison] Well, it's about putting people over profits.
You can't lose your shirt by paying for too many frills,
but you also can't be all profit and unhappy customers.
So what do we do next?
First I think we need to get a quote on how much it will cost
to bring Hank's up to code.
I already got three quotes. It's going to be too expensive.
The electrical hasn't been done in 40 years.
Well, we'll just redo the budget to make it work.
I'm sorry, it's not going to get approved.
But, Hank, he's... He's family.
Okay, show me how the Marlowes ran this place.
Maybe we can save that.

[Alison] I miss you.
Everyone does.
The truth...
I miss everything about the marina.
Even my wrenches. Does that sound weird?
Yes, but it's also very you.
Please come back.
What about Roger?
We had a good talk.
He gets it. He really does.
Are you sure about that?
Sure enough to ask you to give it a second chance.
Sounds good enough for me.
Can you pass me that?
Did I ever tell you that I had a sneaky suspicion
that man never learned how to swim.
Hmm. Really?
Well, how can you tell that?
[they both laugh]
Here, let me.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
You know, I'm surprised you're still here.
Don't you have some space flight to get on?
Some wild boar hunt to help you discover yourself?
The only thing wild boars helped me discover
is my inability to throw a spear.
Alison, I'm sorry.
About everything.
The marina, my family, all of it.
I'll admit it was an unmitigated disaster.
The condos, tearing this place down would be a tragedy.
I love it here.
I want to stay.
Look, I'll talk to them. I won't let them...
You know what? I...
I never thanked you properly
for having my back at dinner with your Dad.
It's not like it helped, though.
You tried.
And I appreciate that.
Well, that's what people who care about each other do, right?
Have each other's back. No matter what.
Yeah.
No matter what.
Yes! Right! Yes!
[Alison] Hank!
Call the contractors.
You know, I'll be making good money on this crossing.
And I'll happily do more crossings
if it means that I know that you
What are saying?
I'm saying, I'll pay for it.
The renovations. We'll get you up to code.
Alison, no. That's crazy.
You're not going to put your savings into me.
Look. Your business, it means a lot to this community.
And you mean a lot to me.
You're my family. So, end of story.
Thank you for helping me remember what's important.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
Yeah, you're right.
But it's different with her, isn't it?
She's all about this place,
about her past and the marina's future.
But for her they're all one, not separate.
I wish I could see the world like that.
Maybe you need her to show you how.
Think I have a chance?
Well, you haven't been playing it very cool.
And she's not exactly a fan of your family.
I don't blame her there.
But she knows that you're not them.
You just have to show her that you're committed.
You know, that you stand for something.
[Alison] Waterways was going to close Hank's down,
and it was the only thing I could do to save it.
You're spending your savings on Hank's?
Oh, wow! You're amazing.
You know, it's weird.
I keep going over and over it again in my head, and
yes, it was impulsive but
it was 100 percent right, you know?
Like kissing Joel?
[stammers] What do you mean?
Has Mason said something? Has Joel been talking?
Woah! No no no no no.
No one said anything to anyone except for you just now.
[they both laugh]
Nice work.
And yes, it was 100 percent right, just like that kiss.
But that was before everything and it matters even less now
that I'm not going to be coming back when I thought.
Now my next job is to convince my new bosses to keep
me on past the first season so I can fulfill all my promises.
Alison, are you going to be okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I will be.
You know, when you were a kid,
you used to help me around the shop sometimes.
I remember.
One time you came racing in because you just had to show me
a little crayfish that you found on the shoreline.
But I was just coming around the corner
with a huge tray of cut potatoes.
And you slammed into me! [chuckles]
Man, was that a mess!
You were about 11, I guess.
But then you helped me clean up.
In fact, you stayed until every last bit of potato
was back in the bin.
I was impressed.
And I told you, I said,
Allie, now I know for sure that you're a good person.
You helped me when I was in trouble.
I didn't want to accept this gift.
But I hope this also means that now you have a reason
to come back home and visit.
You'll always be home to me.
Good luck kid.
I'm going to miss you.
Hey.
Hey. How are you?
Overwhelmed.
I set the contractors up with Hank.
But I just feel like I have so much to do
before I leave tomorrow.
But... I figured I could use a break.
Well, I know a boat that deserves to get out on the water
every once in a while.
And I remember a beach at sunset that
someone told me I should see.
Permission to come aboard?
[Alison] But I'm driving.
[Joel] I'm going to miss you.
Otter's Port won't be the same.
I'll miss you too.
I got you something.
[Joel] A journal?
Yeah, along with some sailing advice.
You know those Captain's logs?
Yeah, I've been writing in mine all summer.
Yeah yeah, I noticed that.
But they stay with the boat.
It's not really a personal journal.
What do you mean?
I mean, it's fair game for anyone to read them.
Oh.
Oh!
Yeah.
Oh, no.
No no. But I think it's really sweet
that you wanted to put your feelings in there.
You know, if you ever sell the boat,
it'll make a fascinating read for the new owners.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
[Joel] You just seem so certain about life.
[Joel] It must be obvious when you look at me.
I'm searching.
But one thing I know is we have something real.
Will you still be thinking that when summer dream is over?
You'll go back to Chicago or to London
or to some exotic locale with your name on it.
I know you had a certain opinion of me when I first got here.
But I'm different now.
And you're a big part of that change.
I appreciate that.
But I've made my commitments.
This, this has been, this has been lovely.
But as of tomorrow we'll both be on different parts of the world.
I don't understand why.
I need to experience something, something new.
To be out there. Something happens to me,
every time I get a glimpse of the open water,
it's like my heart opens with it and
the ocean comes flooding in.
It's a feeling unlike any other.
I think I know it.
Dad? Is Mom there with you?
There's something I need to ask you two.
I feel crazy mixed up with emotions right now.
You know, ever since I was a kid I wanted to get out on the ocean
and have experiences and adventures but
selling the marina made me realize that
I already had that right here.
When I was 23 I saw a posting one day
from a group of young people looking for
a fourth crew member on a catama
And I immediately knew I wanted to go so I called them up.
But I didn't tell anybody, and when the day came to set sail
I took a shift with my Dad and I never showed up.
You told me that story.
And I don't want that to happen to me.
But the part of the story that I didn't tell you is,
that summer I met Al.
And we had 28 wonderful years together,
full of its own adventure.
I guess what I'm trying to tell you
is that I feel I might have off loaded my own regrets
onto to you when you have your own life to live.
My love for the ocean
started long before I came to Otter's Port.
And you know your heart best.
All that I can say then is, when
just say yes.
- Hey! - Hey, Roger.
This office... suits you.
Thank you, Alison.
Everything is going in the right direction now thanks to you.
It was a joint effort.
Well, I'm off. I just came to say goodbye.
Oh! I didn't think your car was here until 11.
They were all booked up so the water taxi will be here in five.
Oh. Did you see Joel?
I don't think I can handle that particular goodbye.
We've said everything we need to say to each other.
Are you sure? He was just here this morning.
I'm sure if you wait a couple mi
Will you say goodbye to him for me?
Sure.
Thanks for drafting this so quickly.
I know it's short notice.
Yes, I'll have the signed paperwork to you ASAP.

I read what you wrote.
I wish I didn't have to leave.
But I do.
I know what I want to do with my life.
I bought Waterways Inc. from my parents.
You did?
Alison,
I finally feel like I've found my place in the world.
Somewhere I can build a home for myself.
I never want to stand in the way of your dreams
or ask you to change your plans.
I'm making this decision for me.
Sure, Roger and I could run this place on our own.
But I'd much rather do it with you.
I don't know what to say.
I can't imagine my life without you.
This isn't just a summer romance to me.
And I think you feel the same.
How was I supposed to know that I'd fall in love?
I love you too, Alison.
And I'll wait for you.
What do you say? Can we make it work?
I say yes!
