Below Deck’s Captain Lee, Captain Sandy’s Ups and Downs

Below Deck‘s Captain Lee Rosbach and Captain Sandy Yawn were friendly before their time in the Bravo franchise created a rift.

Viewers were introduced to Lee during the first season of Below Deck in 2013. Sandy, for her part, became a household name for Bravo fans when she took over for Captain Mark Howard on Below Deck Mediterranean.

Below Deck season 10 gave a glimpse of the pair’s interactions when Sandy came onboard as a replacement. “Thanks for coming. I appreciate you coming on such short notice. I’ll do my best to get back as quickly as I can to relieve you,” Lee told the Be the Calm or Be the Storm author in a December 2022 episode before he left St. David’s due to health concerns.

The swap marked the first captain crossover in Below Deck history, and Sandy reflected on the pressure that came with stepping into Lee’s shoes. “It’s never easy taking over for another Captain,” she said in a confessional. “My hope is that Captain Lee feels supported. I’m here to take care of his boat and his crew until he gets back.”

Off screen, however, the duo’s dynamic took an unexpected turn when Lee questioned Sandy’s leadership. The OG Below Deck star claimed that his coworker didn’t tell him about stew Camille Lamb‘s firing after her exit aired in January 2023.

Sandy seemingly reacted to being called out by Lee when she shared a cryptic quote via social media, which read: “If someone treats you bad, just remember that there is something wrong with them, not you. Normal people don’t go around destroying other people.”
