We're gonna f***ing die.

Man!

Caroline, get the gaskets!

Katherine, on the mizzenmast!

Ben, the mainsheets!

Good going, Katy! Go!

We're too far into the wind!

We gotta bring her around!

Caroline, come here.

Pull back.

Mayday!

- Pull!

- I'm trying.

- You're tough. You've got a tattoo.

- A little one!

Be a little tough, then.

Guantnamo, wake up!

Attaboy, Boss. You got the wind.

- Go, go, go. Hang on.

- I got it.

- OK, I got it!

- Got it?

It's awesome, Dad!

Dad!

- Maybe it's nobody.

- Yeah, maybe.

We're doing our job, you do yours!

These people are taxpayers!

Oh, geez! Gunplay!

Are you born stupid? Stay down!

- They're not gonna shoot at us!

- What are you doing?

I'll blow a hole

in their boat with this!

This is a serious call for help!

That's different. We had dry rot!

- There are children on this boat!

- We've had enough!

- Mom is pissed.

- Adis!

How much did you pay for this?

Mom! Over there!

- Who's that?

- It's the U.S. Coast Guard!

We're the Harvey family from Chicago!

- I'll get them on the radio.

- We're Americans!

All right!

Coast Guard kicking ass!

The leg is a lot better. I heal fast.

I believe in Jesus, so that helps.

U.S. Coast Guard calling

This is "The Wanderer".

This is Commander Morgan.

May we speak with the captain?

May we speak

with the captain, please?

That's you, Boss.

You're the captain now.

Day 30. New log.

Old log fell into the hands

of the Pirates of the Caribbean.

We said goodbye

to Captain Ron today.

He hadn't been back for 7 years.

Something about

the statute of limitations.

I didn't ask questions.

He kept his promise to Ben,

promoting him to mate.

Bye, Captain Ron.

He traded hair grooming

tips with Caroline.

We're gonna miss you.

And he kissed Katherine.

I think he French kissed her.

You're a lucky man, Boss.

Then, as suddenly

as he'd come into our lives...

Captain Ron!

.. he was gone.

And our adventure was over.

Once the Harvey boat comes in,

pull it out of the water.

- You want it surveyed?

- No, it's a piece of junk.

Set it down back, and we'll cut it up

for scrap and salvage what we can.

Tomorrow at this time

we're gonna be home.

We can do one of two things.

Sell the boat and go back to Chicago

or don't!

- OK. Coming about!

- Good going!

Hey! HEY!

Where are you going?

Over here!

- Where are we going, skipper?

- I don't know.

"But if we get lost, we'll just pull

in somewheres and ask directions. "

Oh, boy! Look at that, Barbara.

Do you think we'll be able to do that?

Sure you will, Boss. I guarantee it.

Let's light the fires

and kick the tyres. Push that back.

Hang on a second.

You forgot to cast off.

It could happen to anybody.

We want to check the boat out.

We bought it yesterday.

Get her out on the ocean.

If it's gonna happen, it's out there!

There's a lot of boats!

They'll get out of our way.

I learned that on the "Saratoga".
