Belfast Harbour Police's Sergeant William Hunter is overseeing the arrival of a new fully equipped police boat. A traditional naming ceremony later, and they can start training with their colleagues at Lagan Search and Rescue, who know these waters well. The whole group are later put to the test for real at the Maritime Weekender Festival, when a boat gets into a bit of trouble.

The Belfast Giants are back on the ice for the first time in 18 months. We meet their new star player, JJ Piccinich, who hails from New Jersey in the US, and lives a stone’s throw from the arena. We see him and his teammates get back to training, and prepare for the first game of the new season. Lifelong fan Joel Neill is ready in the stands to cheer them on.

Over in Sailortown – a part of the harbour virtually obliterated by the construction of a motorway – there is a regeneration project underway to bring the once thriving community back to the area, starting with St Joseph’s church. We meet Terry, who is heading up the massive undertaking. Although not yet restored to its former glory, the church can still serve as a community space, and one group availing of this is the Lagan Currachs, who are starting their own venture – building a boat. Volunteers Mary and Cathy help Niamh to make a start on the three-person currach.
