Small Craft Warning The Beachcombers : Season 18 Episode 1

Dana and Sam are still adjusting to small town life in Gibsons, compared to their former life in Toronto. Dana wants Sam to experience all that Gibsons has to offer in terms of outdoor activities. She is, however, somewhat reluctant but ultimately agreeable when Sam wants to go on a day fishing trip with Tommy. Nick convinces Dana that although only eleven, Tommy knows the waters and is smart enough to know what he should and should not do. Dana's anxiety about the boys being out on the water is raised again when an elderly tourist couple, George and Mildred, stop in The Reach, he who is an ex-marine meteorologist. He states that there is a small craft warning, and although clear in town, that there is definitely a storm on the horizon. Despite George and Mildred being an obviously over-the-top cautious couple in every aspect of their life, Dana, who is assured by locals that the warning means little for where Tommy and Sam would be fishing, will still be anxious until Sam comes home, whenever that may be. She is also anxious about some news she has to pass along to Sam from home, which in combination with the fishing trip is making her reflect on whether it was a smart move to relocate to Gibsons from Toronto. Meanwhile, hypochondriac Relic believes he's dying from what most think is a bee sting.
