Sandy, how did the Summer House crew behave when they came and visited Below Deck Med, which we'll see next season?

Yeah, fantastic, as far as I know.

You know, I don't really see what happens below deck.

Oh, okay.

There we go.

Absolutely.

You know, I have to agree.

I think I would want the toys out all the time.

Yes.

So I ...

And she's such a, she's so hard to get close to, but she's really cautious when it comes to men.

But there are some times I wonder.

[laughs] I love her so much.

She's such a great Joy to have around.

[laughs]

[laughs] Okay.

She's great.

Yes.

Uh, Natasha and Katie learned through yachting.

You know, they were up there on big boats.

So you see that passion and care that they have.

Aesha left, continued her career, learned, went, took classes, and now she's excellent at what she does.

And when you see people that put the time in, you don't really have conflict because they have the knowledge.

Yeah.

Sandy, do you think your love life got put on hold because of the career you chose?

Of course.

Yeah.

I mean, it's so transient, you know.

But the great thing about this career, first of all, there are plenty of jobs in the maritime industry.

Secondly, you travel the world and you meet some really interesting people.

Thirdly, you're shoulder to shoulder with the billionaires.

show? Most of them are in their 20s.

When we were in our twenties, I mean, I was still using drugs.

I got clean at 25, but I mean, you know, they have different backgrounds.

They're from different nationalities, different religions, different beliefs.

So you think, okay, I personally like to get to know them.

So I try to have a meal with them.

You learn, I learned so much.

Wow.

Yep.

Did you, did you expect this level of discord between the two of them when they-

Not at all.

It's very disappointing to watch it, 'cause obviously I...

The first episode and how's that happen-

Oh, cousins.

Okay, Rosebud.

Yes.

When it starts permeating through the boat, that's when I step in.

When they're all talking about it.

Now, if I can pick up on it, you know the guests are going to pick up on it.

As far as their interpersonal relationships, I don't live.

you

know that personal growth is and it's all about communication so they don't have that we do right because we're in relationships we learn how to communicate because we want it to work They're just hooking up.

Some people have walls up, so you try.

And then for me, it's, I think it's, I don't step in unless they're starting to affect-... each other in their job situation.

When it starts permeating through the boat, that's when I step in, when they're all talking about it and the-

[laughs]

I'm telling you, that changes lives, and I, I can see where people need personal growth, right? So, and I need personal growth.

You get into a relationship, you learn, right? It's easy to have, you know, kumbaya your whole life if you're single.

But once you see it, what in God's name are they doing? Are they just kids having fun and this is going to be over with and let them get it out of their systems?

you

Mm-hmm.

We have to do what is.

This is what's happening.

We're gonna take care of it.

You learned.

... right, that we found these people in our lives.

Yeah, absolutely, and every day for me, you know, we give each other grace.

We have do-overs.

Hey, when it comes to piloting yachts, and these are how large are these?

They're big.

So when you look at Shad Khan, I'm just going to use him because I'm in Jacksonville.

His boat was $300 million.

Look at Walmart.

The air to Walmart.

Hers the same, right? Over $300 million.

Yeah.

So, you know, when you're with Carrie or, you know, Jason or Glenn or, you know, Asia and seeing everybody together, it's like, yeah, you guys have done something really unique in your lives.

You know, I always say maritime industry is for the wayward because back in the day, we were the Wild West and there were really no rules.

Over the years, obviously, the maritime industry in the yachting sector, we've become more polished and more professional and changed our uniforms and, you know, dressing up more.

The Mediterranean really sets the standard.

It sets the bar for yachting and service, which I'm so happy I'm on that show because I was a Mediterranean captain for many years before the show.

Also, you know, all these rules and regulations.

I mean, I'm immersed in my industry.

And I wonder for you, having done it for so long, both on the show and off, how has your relationship to that kind of level of... effort and high expectation, do you still have that passion for it that you always have? Of
