Below Deck Recap: Boat Daddy

November 1, 2021 by tamaratattles 38 Comments

Below Deck RecapWho is ready for a Below Deck recap? Sadly, we still have half a charter to get through before we can get Captain Lee back on the ship! And we have to find out if the beach picnic will actually happen before nightfall. When last we saw them, the guests were not happy at all about the hours long delay for their beach time. In no world does a Captain even go to the picnic site let alone be in charge of setting up lunch.

Now, Captain Sean is asking for his bag of shells from his closet. Good Grief! That said he did a great beach set up. Meanwhile, Rayna and Jake are totally going to hook up. Rachel is still pissed at Eddie for ratting her horrific behavior out to Captain Lee last season. Someone needs to teach Rayna some table manners! Did she seriously just ask Wes if he would stop being someone’s friend if “her pussy stinks?” WTF???

Below Deck RecapBoat Daddy Is Back!

Captain Lee is coming back mid-charter! Thank the baby Jesus! He should be there in time for dinner. We see Captain Lee on the boat out to the yacht! He’s back! Racheal is doing a Japanese themed meal with Tomahawk steaks? Are those Flintstones steaks in anyway Japanese? Captain Lee has a new set of blacks and I’m not sure I am feeling it, but Rachel is! She’s already invited him to her seven course dinner.

Captain Lee let’s Eddie know, presumably just him because he is First Officer, that he was in the hospital with Atrial Fibrillation.  It’s an irregular heartbeat situation that runs in my family. My mother had to get a pacemaker because of it. The performed some heart ablations on him. It’s quite a scary procedure but he is recovering well.

Captain Lee arrives for dinner in his tux. Now this look I am down with. He looks like a million bucks. Rachel is giving a whole story for each of her courses it seems. The guests are loving it. Jessica is exhausted from washing a million towels a day. Captain Lee says that Rachel is the best chef he has ever worked with. I saw no Tomahawk steaks so maybe that is for another day? The primaries are still not getting top shelf housekeeping services. Rachel may have washed a billion towels, but apparently that was not enough.

The First Charter Is In The Books

The next morning at breakfast, Rachel is super smart. She offers two specials, a  Shakshuka  dish (I had to Google so there is your link. And a pancake popover. None of that omelets made to order crap. Two choices. The kitchen is running smoothly for a change. The Captain and the crew have concerns about a difficult docking at a new dock, with a green crew and bad weather. Fortunately, it goes off without a hitch. Now they just have to get the guests with the towel fetishes off the boat. But first they complain about the lapses in housekeeping.

UT OH! Before there is even a tip meeting, Captain Lee calls Heather to the bridge. Rachel walks in with Captain Lee’s lunch made to order. I’ve never seen a chef deliver a meal to the Captain on a boat before. You can tell Rachel is just as fond of Captain Lee as the rest of us are. Eddie heaps praise on the deck crew for their hard work. They may be green but they didn’t show it on this cruise. The guests left them $18,000 in tips. I will never get used to hearing such a figure. That’s $1,500 each. Apparently, that is not very impressive to Captain Lee or the crew.

Way Too Many Shots Are Consumed

Despite being exhausted, the crew prepares to go out and party. I forget where they are this season but it appears they are still in locked down. The restaurant appears to be empty except for the crew. And the waiters are all wearing masks. Eddie actually has a girlfriend. He’s 36 and might be ready to settle down. Fraser talks privately with Heather regarding housekeeping. He politely points out that she put him in charge of housekeeping but was constantly interrupted to help with service. She doesn’t seem to understand that was a problem for the interior. Fraser gets no resolution from the meeting. Basically, she said, “Don’t let it happen again.”

Meanwhile, the crew has moved on to the bar where copious amounts of drinking occurs. Rayna and Jake are totally hooking up. It wouldn’t surprise me if they did it right there on the bar. They all pour into the vans. Heather says the hookup will happen on the crew mess table. Miraculously, they all to to bed along and wake up with regret. Rayna has a guy off the boat that she is in some sort of relationship with.

Next week the crew drama escalates when Rachel airs her grievances with Eddie. And the rudest guests ever arrive and I don’t feel like  Captain Lee is going to tolerate their behavior for the whole charter. He may make them walk the plank.

    Watching WWHL now and Captain Lee is more Team Heather than Team Fraser, clearly he likes the blondes. Because that is just wrong. Heather is awful. Wow Captain Lee went before Congress to testify about the opioid crisis. He is buying a barge that can house two hundred rehab patients. A saint on earth this man is.

        Francesca went home to Australia at the beginning of the pandemic, at the end of last season’s Below Deck. She said it was Bc of travel restrictions, multiple lockdowns and quarantine in Australia that prevented her from coming back.

            I agree with all of your comments as usual. Especially, “What does Heather do?” Does she think she is just on service and the rest of the jobs go to the underlinings?

    Rachel’s bad behavior was on camera last year. Capt Lee was going to see it. She sounds like an amazing chef, but also seems to get bat shit crazy at times. Aren’t most chefs on these charters to a degree???

    Captain Lee is like an old friend to all of us, I love how one liners and no nonsense way of dealing with shit. Not a Frazier fan, something about him got me wrong immediately, like he is a whinny bitch or something. All last season Rachel’s food amazed me, she really has talent and I wish she would cook for me.

    The food looked truly spectacular. From what I see she’s gifted and a real genius. I like her education and awareness of food and ingredients. I’d like to see her on her own show actually not on a boat. She was on America’s next Top model
    I bet she’s really interesting

    I removed all the Housewives franchises and Andy Cohen’s WWHL from my DVR recording. Yet his show is somehow tacked on at the end of Below Deck. I don’t want to see his icky smug face anymore. Is everyone else getting his show attached in the recording title of other shows? I hope it doesn’t help his ratings but it must. Why else would his show be attached to the recording?

    So on the interior you have one person on service, one in housekeeping and one in laundry. Both of the mishaps were on Fraiser. Sorry bud I think reality is calling. That said it is the first charter. Fraiser seems most interested in camera time probably because his first job is to entertain us. Captain Hovercraft was obnoxious with all of his micromanaging but it was entertaining watching the boat chickens run around. Also after the set up was done, Hovercraft still had to give out seashells. That might be his thing to make feel guests feel special but is smelled like production. Rachael complaining to Eddie about her behavior is classic entitlement. I did notice she didn’t get belligerent drunk

      The thing is that Heather had Fraser doing both service and housekeeping. It would have been better to have Jessica help with either service or housekeeping so Fraser can focus on the other.

    Capt Hovercraft is such a perfect name for Sean. Glad it was only 2 days he was there. The beach set up WAS amazing. But come on – the sea shells? He was obviously NOT a charter captain. Just a little man who wants to be big. Watching Capt Lee return was awesome & I’m kinda digging the new duds. That entrance with the tux? Holy shit! Rachel is obviously an amazing chef & me thinks she is more camera aware this season. She’s not looking messy & has reigned in her behavior a bit. Of course we are just at the beginning of the season. I personally like Heather but she does have 2 green stews no matter what Fraiser thinks. I mean if Katie & Courtney could pull it off with only 2 of them….but the other stew needs to come out of laundry more often. I don’t think Frasier will ever be happy if he’s not in charge. He’s a snippy little thing (though I do enjoy his under breath snips!) Overall the exterior crew appear capable and Eddie is a great bosun. Looking forward to the Rachel/Eddie showdown.

    Heather can’t run Fraser around like a chicken with his head cut off. If she sends him down to clean guest cabins, then let him fucking do it and use laundry girl to help out. You have 2 people, use both of them. I love Frasers comments. Especially the Republican one in Episode One.

    Reyna needs to check her mouth, it’s disgusting and nobody finds it professional, whether in a kitchen, crew mess or outside. STFU and act like a person.

    I really missed Captain Lee. He’s an incredible human. Starting a recovery and vocational center for addicts. Now that is something many more of these “celebrities” should consider. Giving back in the form of something that helps others. God Bless Him.

      I forgot my Rachel comments. She is an incredible chef but last year acted like she was suddenly taken off her meds after a few drinks and even without a few drinks BTW. She didn’t drink this past episode. Why? Maybe she saw herself on camera and realized what an unprofessional ass she was? Why wasn’t Eddie allowed to comment on something that we all saw? Grow up Rachel. If you put yourself out on television for millions of people to see and you are acting like some sort of lunatic with zero filter, then you deserve every single comment coming your way. Stop placing blame.

    Captain Lee, “Boat Daddy”!! I LOVE THAT!! He and Maryann are incredible and bringing awareness of the opioid crisis is so needed. I am a recovering opioid addict, was prescribed them for shoulder pain for 3 years, no MRI or Xrays showed any trouble, so they just kept prescribing me pain pills. 3 years later I had to have my ovaries removed and my Orthopedic Surgeon suggested while I was under to stick an arthoscope (sp?) in my shoulder and look around. Torn meniscus, torn rotator cuff, too many bond spurs to mention. I was vindicated but also hooked on the pills. Thank God that is behind me; this is something very close to my heart and I love him and Maryann for it.

    I am not trying to talk shite about someone’s looks, but couldn’t Heather maybe get her teeth filed down or something? They look weird. I miss Kate. And Ben. I can’t wait for Captain Lee to light the obnoxious guests asses up. Great recap as usual!

    I may be in the minority, but I liked Capt. Sean. Even though he’s a micromanager he seemed very pleasant. My impression is that he has a bit of OCD so he wants everything to be perfect even if it takes a long, long, long time. I wouldn’t mind seeing him replace Capt. Sandy, but I know that won’t happen. Heather really doesn’t seem to work all that hard so maybe should should have helped out with the guest cabins if she was going to pull Frasier from his housekeeping duties. I have to say I was starting to suspect the charter guests were stealing the towels, lol. How the hell many towels does a person use in one day? Capt. Lee didn’t look so great when he first boarded the boat last night which worried me a little. He looked great on WWHL though and my love for him (and his bride) was increased 100 fold when he talked about the barge they’re setting up. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the season.

    Does Fraser not watch below deck? The interior doesn’t have a person only doing housekeeping activities! I’m tired of watching below deck hire green crew. Is it for entertainment? I would be pissed to have subpar service for that amount of money. I want to see bomb ass service!

    Thought it was interesting when Heather shared in her interview that she was in a relationship with a former charter guest and shrugged it off like ‘against the rules, but, no biggie’.

    I have adored and admired Capt. Lee since his first episode of Below Deck.

    But my admiration soared upon learning the plans he and The Bride have for turning a barge into a rehab facility for TWO HUNDRED people. Especially because they realize detox is just the beginning. Providing vocational training is a game changer. As he says, the newly sober need help getting their lives back on track and a job is vital.

    What a beautiful legacy to honor their memories of their Josh.

    Captain Lee most times eats by himself. Remember Kate would bring him breakfast. Sandy and Glenn normally eat with the crew but Lee separates himself at times (Im fine with it). Im glad he is back.

    I found it funny when the guest came to complain about towels she was wrapped in about 4 of them. The two stews said they put all of them out so there is not much more they can do. What does Heather do? I never see her. She needs to help out on service if she wants Fraser to focus in on housekeeping.

    I think Jake is going to sleep with everyone.

    Rachel is delusional if she thinks that she is right to hold a grudge against Eddie. She was a hot drunk mess and did act a fool. I hope she just lets it go but I doubt she will.
