This is a story about second and third chances to experience life. Bronson and Catherine Preminger were an elderly couple who were very much in love. So much so that they resolved to die together when Catherine was diagnosed with end stages of Alzheimer’s Disease because neither could live not knowing the other and forgetting everything they had experienced together. They wanted to sink their beloved yacht that they have sailed to the far corners of the globe while Catherine’s memories are still intact. She wanted to die with a mind full of memories of her life with Bronson, their lone surviving daughter, Brooke, and the memory of their son who died at war. Her tragic memory loss began suddenly and without warning so they implemented their plan. However, Brooke guessed what they wanted to do because her father strangely and suddenly changed the name of the famed yacht which indicated that her father planned on sinking it in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean as a final romantic gesture to his beloved wife.

However, Brooke had a secret and she told her parents that they would become grandparents in the next seven months. Upon hearing the news about Brooke’s pregnancy, the Premingers postponed their final voyage which was simply replaced with a vacation sail to Bermuda.
