Well done, Charlie. Mature.

You only left me

l cannot believe

that you're here!

Hello!

Hi.

Yeah.

No, not our anniversary,

because we're not going out,

but me and Cindy's.

What's that?

Nothing.

You all right?

Yeah.

''This man's just got to go!''

declared his enemies

But the ladies begged

"Don't you tey

to do it, please"

No doubt this Rasputin

hed iots of hidden charms

Hey!

Hey, Cindy!

Happy anniversary,

Thanks.

He's really talented.

Oh, l know.

Come meet Rachel.

Right now?

Yeah.

Rachel, this is Charlie,

the one l told you about.

Hi. Hey.

Cindy said you wouldn't show.

Only because we never see you

out at night, Charlie.

Ever since the werewolf bite,

l tend to only come

out during full moons.

The moon isn't full.

Then I guess it's

your lucky night.

Let's hear it for Cindy!

Hey.

How's the weather

looking, Coach?

Look. Low-pressure system

coming down from Alaska,

See how tight those isobars

are on the back

of the depression?

Not good.

That means more wind.

Too much wind.

This test run can wait.

The electronics

aren't even installed yet.

My boat gets shipped

back east in a week.

l need to get

out on the water.

Look, obviously l'Il

stay clear of the storm.

Didn't you used to

be Charlie St. Cloud?

Charlie! My man.

Been a long time, huh?

Come on.

Jagerbombs, now.

Let's go.

Hey, why are you so

interested in that loon?

l'm not.

l ran into him

for the first time

since high school

the other day and.,.

And?

And he flummoxed me.

Listen.

Eveybody in town knows

this St. Cloud kid,

totally certifiable.

When we were growing up,

Charlie was unbeatable

on the water

even got himself

a sailing scholarship

and eveything.

Glory days,

huh, Charlie?

Hey.

Hey.

No, that's okay, man.

l'm good. Thank you.

Come on, St. Cloud,

don't be a woman.

Have another.

lt's not like there's

a big demand for you

as a designated driver.

So take the drink.

Wait, Charlie!

Come on, take it easy.

l'm fine.

You want a piece of me,

you pathetic townie creep?

Your boy just saved

you from a beating.

No, you're probably right.

l'm sory, man.

How is everything?

How's Goldman Sachs?

I heard the layoffs

have been pretty brutal.

Just a better opportunity

to weed out the weak.

Yeah. But you're

good, right?

You still have full

dental and everything?

Yeah.

Hey!

What are you doing?

l was just looking

at your boat.

l'm sory if l scared you.

You don't scare me.

l'm harmless, l promise.

l'm not...

Really?

You didn't seem so

harmless up at Maddie's.

Yeah, that.

l can explain that.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Connors is a dick.

Yeah.

AIways has been.

You don't

remember me, do you?

Yeah. Yeah, l do.

You do?

l do.

l already replanted

all the flowers

by your father's grave.

No!

High school.

We took an AP class together.

And you don't remember.

Of course l remember you!

You sat at the

front of the class.

Had your hand up

the entire semester.

Busted.

Yeah.

And you won

the Commodores' Cup.

Yeah.

You got a big

sailing scholarship

to Stanford, right?

l deferred.

For a while.

Anyways.,.

l should get going, l guess.

Yeah, it was.,.

lt's good catching up.

Yeah.

Flukes!

Flukes?

Flukes.

Like a whale tail.

Uh-huh.

Can l show you something?

Yeah.

See, there's a.,.

There's newer technology.

You can fabricate

organic lines.

This would completely

change your boat,

There's no drag.

There's virtually

no cavitation,

Yeah. l know.

l wanted to do

something similar.

But everyone told me

structural stability

was more important.

That doesn't apply here.

Why?

Because this eliminates

direct stress on the keel.

That's basic!

Are you serious?

Sorry.

Anyways.,.

ls that my boat?

Yeah.

You drew my boat.

Yeah.

Good luck with the race,

and be careful out there.

Thank you.

How's my girl?

Bored.

Thet's what I like to hear.

Where are you?

I was just

passing Whidbey Island,

heading into Puget Sound.

Okay, good girl,

Keep going southeast.

That storm's rolling in,

Iooking really haiy.

Aye-aye, Captain!

Over.

AIl right,

If you can't make it through

a little low-pressure system,

then you have no right

being in that race,

Come on!

Come on.

Come on.

This is what

you were made for.

The first leg is

an all-out 8,000-mile sprint

to Cape Town.

Boom shaka-laka.

l would kill that.

You would never catch me.

Slider?

No, I don't feel like

retrieving balls today.

See, rounding Cape Horn

is where it gets tricky,

The southern seas are tough

for even the most

experienced sailors

because of the,..

Blood-sucking Sea-Monkeys.

lcebergs.

Of course, the

icebergs.

You could never

do this race.

Why? Why can't

I do the rae?

lt's a solo race.

You couldn't take being

alone for six months.

No way.

l could do it.

What? If it wasn't

for me, you could go?

No, Sam, l didn't say that.

l just said l could.

I won't, of course,

but I could.

Don't let me stop you.

Oh!

Getting angry?

Trying to bring

the heat, Sam?

The heat? Tha't not heat.

You want heat?

Bring the heat, Sammy,

Let's go.

So scared.

Come on, Sam,

Falling asleep here.

Oh!

You okay?

Oh!

Strike.

Did you see that?

There's lightning!

Let the Mud Games begin!

Let the Mud Games begin!

Hey, guys.

How long are we

gonna do this for? Hmm?

This isn't a game.

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

God, what the hell

are you doing?

Hi.

Hi.

l'm sory about the noise.

l apologize.

l just got carried away,

Hey! You did a lovely

job with the flowers,

No, I'm fine.

I just hit some

rough weather last night.

Have you had

that looked at?

What?

No, It's fine. I just

need some sleep. I'm fine.

l could clean it up for you

and see if it needs a stitch.

lt's pretty...

It's kind of gross.

l'm right down the hill.

A little sting now.

Is it fatal?

Definitely.

AIl done.

You don't need stitches.

Not a stitch?

No

It was a drunk driver

wasn't it?

l'm sory. What?

Your brother.

ls that why you

gave up sailing,

Stanford, eveything?

Christ, that was tactless.

l'm sory.

l must be concussed

or something.

No. No.

Maybe we could talk.

Another time.

Yeah. Yeah, l'd like that.

l'd like to talk with

you sometime, Charlie.

Yeah, maybe when l get back.

ln six months.

Come on,

l can do this.

l can do this.

Hey! Hey.

l know how to cook.
