Jesse's problem is keeping a deck hand. Welk, his first deck hand, quits over a dispute with Jesse. Although Jesse in his single-minded pursuit does overwork Welk, Welk in turn is lazy. Jesse would like to take Tommy out, which he in return would love, but Laurel feels Tommy is still too young. John goes out with Jesse on one trip, but his day job as police corporal gets in the way. So Nick agrees to the job until Jesse can make more permanent arrangements. On Jesse and Nick's inaugural fishing trip together, they find they have a third, a stowaway, on board: Tommy. Nick finds that he's not well suited to the work. They decide to connect with Travis, another commercial fisherman who purchases cleaned fish for cash from other fishermen, and provide supplies. When he learns that Travis is heading to Nanaimo, Nick, who wants to head back to Gibsons and his other work while Jesse wants to stay out fishing for a few more days, figures it better to hitch a ride with Travis as opposed making Jesse go in. When Nick boards Travis' boat, what he is unaware of is that Travis' new deck hand, Welk, with the reluctant cooperation of the other more mild mannered deck hand, Bob, has taken over the boat in a mutiny. Welk had planned to set Travis on a skiff to fend for himself while he and Bob absconded with the boat and Travis' money to Mexico. With Nick now aboard, that alters Welk's plan to two aboard the skiff. The only person who may be able to save Nick and Travis is Jesse, who feels that something isn't quite right with his fellow fisherman. Written by Huggo See less
