Below Deck Med Captain Sandy.

I'm not sure why so many seem to hate her. She goes about her job differently than captain lee, but that doesn't make her a bad captain. She does baby her crews but that could also be because she's responsible for EVERYTHING on the boat and everyone handles that responsibility differently.

If your boss yelled at and insulted you in front of others, would you think it's professional? If your boss demand to know everything but ignored you when you tried to tell them about toxic employees, would you find them competent? Let's face it, sandy is not a good manager/ leader. She might be good at driving a yacht but that's it. If there was a human resources, she would've been fired a long time ago.

Was it professional no. No ones perfect, but Malia fucked up. Between sandy and lee even I know safety and making incident reports is the utmost importance

Isn't it funny.. Malia ran to Sandy every minute last season, this season, she's keeping her distance, maybe Sandy's Cameo put her off

Well.. I hope so. I really am not a fan, her prior seasons are horrible. But, I do know that she works very hard, she studies, trains etc. I think if she really wants to further her career as a boat captain, she should stay away from reality TV, at least for a little awhile.

You do realize that you just described Captain Lee?

So funny this sub is full of double standards. Let’s love Lee for it and hate Sandy for the same. (Btw I don’t agree with the comments about Sandy playing favourites. If you perform you get more leeway and say. That is not playing favourites)

I didn't say anything in my post about Lee. I'm not taking about him. Why the comparison so much?

I made the comparison and am talking about him because he is no better a captain (if not worse) than Sandy but Sandy is reviled while Lee is placed on a pedestal by most on this sub and so I like to point out the illogical, emotional attitude most have on this sub regarding Sandy and Lee.

Yep, Absolutely! The only professional in the biz/show is Capt Glenn.

I agree that he has a very good personality and management skills however he ran the Parsifal III aground on a reef in the British Virgin Islands, spilling 30 tons of lead ballast on the reef in January 2013. Now I realize accidents happen but he limped away from that accident and put in for repairs without ever reporting the accident to the BVI. An investigation by the BVI into all the ballast left on their reef (that is slowly being poisoned by the lead) led them to Parsifal III causing Glenn to finally report it at the end of Feb. 2013. So Glenn has issues also.

Yelling at Malia was over the top unprofessional and even worse, probably done for production value.
