The first stop on this tour of the East Coast of the United States is rural Georgia, where we meet Hosley Hall, hard at work on his farm. He’s a fan of traditional southern crops and traditional vehicles, though his restored Chevy truck has an unusual agricultural twist!

Hosley Hall loves spending time on his farm, fully aware that, as an African American, his recent ancestors would not have had the option of owning land. Not far away, on Saint Simons Island, a few times a month, a charter boat captain takes funeral services out on the water.

Cap Fendig has the perfect name for his job as a boat captain. Cap offers a wide variety of trips aboard his charter boat, but particularly offers services to families who want to spread their loved ones' ashes at sea.

On Hilton Head Island, between the coastal cities of Charleston and Savannah, Lara and her partner Brian are busy restoring their sailboat in preparation for a new voyage across the seas. Lara sells paintings to raise funds for their project, and in their downtime, the pair enjoy exploring the local coastline by kayak.

The sea off the coast of Charleston is known as one of the best fishing grounds on the East coast. As well as fishermen, there are marine researchers out on the waves. We join a boat where sharks are being caught, tagged, and released in order to monitor their movements and gain a better understanding of their habits and lifecycles.

Marine Biologist Erin Levesque explains the significance of the otolith when examining fish. While Myrtle Beach's extensive sandy shoreline caters to mass tourism, the challenge for local artist Chris Wilson is to find the lesser known extraordinary scenes that inspire his paintings.
