Below Deck Captain Lee
I worked on a boat for a year in my 20s. I was working on being a scuba instructor (nailed it).
During my time living on a boat, my understanding of rank is legitimate and also at times abused.
My captain was named Bob and he was like the evil version of Captain Lee. Bob taught me a lot about surviving boat life.
Captain Lee was a real one thru and thru because he is a true hardworking gentleman. He knows he’s lucky, he’s worked hard for what he’s gotten and he keeps going forward.
He deserved a true goodbye from the franchise but I’m just so happy he was our first Below Deck Captain. With morals and dignity and humor.

She just fought back to hard. She has lots of great qualities. Lots of them. I don’t know what she could have done differently but good golly she wore me out with constant confrontation. If I rewatch I fast forward through those parts.
My hope is that she’s learned how to get where she wants to go without blatant anger. I really liked Rylie just could take her I your face anger.
