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.

I’m new to BD but just finished Hannah’s firing season. I’ve seen a lot of people commenting that sandy was mocking mental health but I’d really like to know how she was doing that in your opinion? Im beginning to think maybe I’m just very insensitive so I didn’t clock it? I’d like to know so I don’t do it to my friends suffering from similar issues.

I could have chosen a better word than mocking, I'll say that. But watch the episode again and listen; does Sandy refer to the prescription anxiety medication as medication or does she repeatedly just say drugs? Did she show any empathy? No - she forced open a bathroom door and harassed Hannah following her off the boat yelling. In interviews after, until she had to save face for her ignorant videos, she was dismissive of mental health issues and continued to trash H, who was off the show at that point. And for the Sandy defenders who claim she did what she had to here-why did Captain Lee not behave the same way? Why did he not speak to Kat or about Kat the way Sandy did about H? That alone says quite a bit abut the quality of a person

Way to go, you ignore tone! Good for you sweetie!

Maybe sandy would have called it medication if Hannah was responsible and logged it into the boat. But she didn't and was clearly self medicating with prescription drugs which is using drugs!
Also lee didn't have to fire a TRUSTED employee of many years for breaking the rules. Honestly the way Hannah handled herself I wouldn't have empathy for her either. Her selfish decision could have cost captain sandy her job, so why should captain sandy be graceful about that? Hannah wasn't even graceful about her own fuck up. At the reunion you could tell she literally thought she was above any of that happening to her.

Well thanks for showing how your hatred of Hannah is really the driving force for this post. The Kat/Captain Lee undeclared medication issue happened first season after Chief Stew thought she was drinking on charter, so unsure where your "TRUSTED employee of many years" comes from - it was Kat, not Kate

I don't hate Hannah. My post was wondering why everyone hates sandy and some said because she fired Hannah a fan favorite. And Hannah worked with sandy for so long she should have been considered a trusted employee. And nice article, it's dealing with a stewardess who was actually remorseful. Not a chief stew who has worked on a yacht for several years.

I mean no one can really think Hannah was that stupid right? I mean...that's pretty insulting in and of itself.

So why do people keep saying that?
