Episode 2 • Apr 17, 2017
Du rêve à la réalité/The Dream Becomes A Reality
Although a few of the colonists experience their first doubts about their decision to participate in the adventure, the group stands firmly together in the face of adversity.
Episode 3 • Apr 24, 2017
Être colons... Et marins/Colonists... And Sailors
A breakdown aboard requires a general mustering of forces and shows everyone the extent to which the ship must always be the priority.
Episode 4 • May 01, 2017
Grandeurs et misères de la vie en mer/The Ups and Downs of Life at Sea
Having fallen victim to food poisoning, it becomes obvious to everyone that reconciling the seafaring life and the colonists' duties is a major challenge that is starting to have worrisome consequences on the health of the group.
Episode 5 • May 08, 2017
J'ai faim!/Hunger Strikes!
With the increasing fatigue and frustrations, each disappointment takes on a life of its own. Everyone is surreptitiously watching what the others are eating. For some, the fear of not getting their fair share becomes almost an obsession.
Episode 6 • May 15, 2017
Tenir bon!/Staying The Course
The colonists earn a stern reprimand from the captain, who reminds them of the consequences of abandoning their posts without notice. Anthony is mortified, and keenly aware of his fellow shipmates' disapproval.
Episode 7 • May 22, 2017
Tempêtes en mer/Storms At Sea
Since Anthony was chastised for abandoning his night watch, he can feel his shipmates' disapproval and increasingly withdraws. While this affects the morale of the entire group, the announcement of a more serious and fast-approaching storm leads to a shift in priorities - Three storm systems batter L'Espérance, one after the other. The colonists are there to help whenever they are needed, even in the middle of the night. They respond to orders and carry out maneuvers in the torrential rain and driving spray, demonstrating great courage and real solidarity. When things subside, it becomes clear that the ship has been going in circles for three days without making any headway - a discouraging discovery for those who were counting the days to the end of this odyssey. Some colonists have reached their physical and psychological limits in terms of patience, energy, hunger, and motivation. The temperature has dropped and they feel the cold. However, they cling to the one positive aspect of this abrupt change in weather: it means that the ship must be approaching land.
Episode 8 • May 29, 2017

Episode 10 • Jun 10, 2017
8 mois plus tard.../8 Months Later...
It has been 8 months since the colonists sailed into Québec city. Their excitement of being reunited, is quickly tempered by the realization that life on land had not been the same for everyone.
