S1, E5: The ship's engineer reports that one of two engines is broken. Now they will be unable to keep up with the Japanese whalers and are forced to return to Melbourne for repairs. While heading back, they are forced to navigate through a massive oceanic storm size of Australia. After they make it out alive, the crew throws a party to celebrate but the officers are angry and order the Steve Irwin to now become a dry ship. This is the final straw for many volunteers and they decide to get off the ship when they dock. With astronomical engine repair costs and a skeleton crew, the Sea Shepherds are worried they won't be able to raise enough money to complete their anti-whaling campaign.
