Summer dredging season begins. Emily's 1st day as captain goes up in flames. Zeke has a run-in with the law. Steve R is 1st out, but his crew strands him on an iceberg.

It's beautiful dredging weather, but things are ugly. The Pomrenkes swallow their pride and ask megadredger Hank for help to get their pinned barge operating again. Zeke demands Emily pay up or give up her dredge. The Kellys fight off claim jumpers.
