On the voyage to the Hudson Valley, Captain Max Parger welcomes very special guests on board: shipowner Hendrik Hansen and family. While Oskar Schifferle overzealously organizes the perfect stay for the shipowner and his family on board, Staff Captain Martin Grimm has conflicted feelings about seeing Hansen himself. Years ago, Grimm had piloted a vessel while under the influence. Though he has been sober and maintained a spotless record ever since, shipowner Hansen continues to deny him any chance for promotion.
