Herby and Maddie sail out of Deltaville and cross the Maryland-Virginia Line (which is physically marked by buoys on the water) to sail into Smith Island. Along the way, they discuss their thoughts on returning to the waters where their adventure all started. There have been a lot of changes to them, their boat, and their crew since they left 5 years ago. Along the way, plans changed, as did expectations of this voyage and their lives.
