Building Hope and Healing

Anton and Daniel brave the waters beneath the ship, risking it all to complete a critical dive. Meanwhile, Connor ventures into town on a different mission—hunting for the right wood to craft a meaningful wedding gift for Joshua. As each man takes on his task, purpose and camaraderie guide their efforts above and below the surface.

Dives and Drives

Sarah and Thomas are finally reunited, while Connor and LeAnne take the Youth Group ashore for Beach Day—until unexpected rain threatens to derail their plans.

Reunions and Celebrations

When alarms sound, Captain O’Shea rallies the fire response team in a critical onboard drill. Meanwhile, children from the local blind school arrive to perform Dieke and Raximo’s song for patients recovering on the ship. As safety training unfolds alongside heartfelt music, the day becomes a powerful mix of preparation, resilience, and hope.

Meanwhile, Anton takes Breanna beneath the surface—literally—by teaching her how to dive. It’s a day of goodbyes, new skills, and the quiet moments that make ship life unforgettable.

The Gift of Love
