Those jobs include refurbishing Ted's boat which Nick encouraged him to buy for possible commercial ventures such as charters, and fixing John's motor. Those jobs seem to go by the wayside when Pat receives the results: he passed with flying colors. Pat has a stereotypical outlook on the life of a white collar businessman, which he now believes he is: they don't have grease under their fingernails, and all play golf, which is a sport reserved solely for their kind. Pat believes the world is his oyster, he who wants to get specifically into real estate. But when he discovers that people in Gibsons still see him solely as the marine grease monkey, he decides to move to Vancouver, where he can start his professional life anew without those perceptions. Getting that multi-million dollar business break in the city is more difficult than Pat realized, while that self-important talk to his friends and family has made them get on with those jobs which seem no longer part of his life... that is until he realizes that he still needs to make a living in the meantime. Something will have to happen to light a fire under Pat to get him to get back to his old work or truly move on with his life in a constructive way in a new direction. Written by Huggo See less
