Captain Sandy is being unfairly bullied and shamed for her responsibility as a MEGA Yacht Captain to keep the crew and guests safe. 

“What Captain Sandy witnessed with Hannah was a behavior change that was unlike any other.  ‘Something’s different, she’s not herself. She’s checked out,” Sandy shared on the Below Deck Med After Show, noting Hannah’s overnight panic attack and mood change. “Now, if I take her to sea knowing all this, it’s gross negligence on my part.

 At this point, maritime law takes over — it’s out of my hands. Having to share that with her was heart-wrenching for me. I took no pleasure in it. I have to follow protocol, that’s why structure’s in place. We have manuals. When you discover drugs on board, this is the course you take.”

Sandy explained how disciplinary action has been taken before against clients’ drug usage on the charter, but when her crew has drugs on board, it becomes a major liability.

“People smoke pot all over the world; people are prescribed Valium, [but] Hannah can’t do Valium and have a job on a boat, that’s not allowed,” she shared. “The minute you take that pill you are now my liability, you are no longer my asset, and my crew are my asset in case we have an emergency. We’re not allowed to take medication that alters our mind or puts us to sleep. We have to hear alarms; we have to be able to be woken up.”

PLEASE Support Captain Sandy and her obligation to follow the law, maritime law!!!

With all the big problem in our county, people have actually taken time out to  petition Bravo and request Captain Sandy be removed from Below Deck Mediterranean. PLEASE Stand with Captain Sandy and support her for many seasons to come. God Bless You and Thank You
