The Time Bandit, a legendary veteran of the Bering Sea, is broken. After a punishing winter season pushed the iconic crab boat to its limits, the vessel is severely damaged and in desperate need of repair. For the Hillstrand family, this is more than just a mechanical problem; it is a crisis of history and identity.
In this special episode, the crew rushes to save their ailing ship from the scrap heap. As they work, Captains Andy and Johnathan reflect on the Time Bandit’s storied past, its connection to their family’s legacy, and the uncertain future of their way of life. The fight is not just to fix a boat, but to preserve a legend.
