Has Captain Sandy Been Too Soft On Iain & Johnathan?
With his constant mistakes and lack of accountability, it was a surprise thatCaptain Sandy Yawn didn’t fire Iainfor his poor performance. She assisted him the best she could throughout the season, offering advice and stern guidance. Although she was constantly disappointed in his performance,Captain Sandy continued to offer sage advicethat seemed to go in one ear and out the other. She should have fired Iain earlier in the charter after almost losing a charter guest and castmate. However,she believed that with a second chance, Iain could step into his role as lead Bosun successfully.
Captain Sandy has had to weather the storm of multiple charter mishaps. However, she has supported her crew through it all.She dealt with the poor performance of both Johnathan Shillingford and Iain this season, but she didn’t fire them. She chose to give each a second chance to prove themselves throughout the charter season, which could have backfired tremendously as Chef Jono served a deathly allergic meal for a guest and Iain continued to ignore her advice. Through it all, Captain Sandy made sure the rest of the crew contributed their best aboardtheMustiquefor their charter guests.
Below Deck Mediterraneanis a show about working on a yacht for the summer. With every job, employees are expected to show up and give their best.
