How was it acclimating to this complex vessel? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Never having been on a boat that has been hybrid, I think it\u2019s super-cool because they are caring about our environment. We aren\u2019t muddying the water. Owners are shifting and making boats that are better for our planet. I had a huge learning curve on that vessel because if I press the wrong button, I don\u2019t have steerage. If I press a different button, I can steer the vessel but don\u2019t have maneuverability. It\u2019s a very futuristic bridge with an incredible bow thruster. Then there was the art of managing the temperature for the stabilizers, which you see in the first episode brings trouble for us.<\/p>\n<p><b>What kind of unique challenges did you find in Malta? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>In the harbor where we were docked, the dolphins [<em>pilings<\/em>] aren\u2019t lined up. I didn\u2019t have anyone opening the dolphins as I did in \u0160ibenik, Croatia, where tenders would pull them apart. I had a really good crew to help with maneuvering the vessel. The crosscurrents of the winds were very shifty. However, it was a beautiful location, but because it was such a small area where we were around the island, it was always hard to find good protection.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1051101\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1051101\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1051101 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Below-Deck-1014x570.jpg\" alt=\"Below Deck Mediterranean - Season 7\" width=\"1014\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Below-Deck-1014x570.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Below-Deck-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Below-Deck-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Below-Deck-1420x798.jpg 1420w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Below-Deck-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Below-Deck-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Below-Deck.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1051101\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bravo <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>How would you describe the team dynamic? How important was it to have at least one familiar face on hand? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Having Zee there was good because, obviously, he could tell the other crew how cool a captain I am! For me, having a new crew, I love finding out who they are as people and their work ethic. For me, Natasha was such a pleasure to work with. Kyle and Natalya, I laughed every day. For the deck team, it seems like every season I have a challenge in the beginning. We were down two deckhands, so it\u2019s not really fair to the crew. I loved giving Raygan an opportunity. I like to have the women on deck. Someone gave me the opportunity, so I\u2019m hoping she will pull through these and they come together as a team.<\/p>\n<p><b>You state your expectations right at the beginning, but Raygan doesn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear to meet those at first. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m the captain with a three-strike rule. She was born somewhere and raised where they are used to smoking. I saw a lot of smoking when I watched that first episode. However, I\u2019m going to give her an opportunity this season. I\u2019m not just going to just bring the hammer down. I\u2019m going to talk to her.<\/p>\n<p><b>We\u2019ve seen clashes between the chef and chief stew in the past. Here, a romance is blooming between Natasha and Dave. How does that affect things when you have two leaders? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>They are professionals. My hope is they keep it professional. My hope is they keep it below deck and not on deck. The minute they stop respecting each other and that starts permeating through the crew and deck, I will step in. I don\u2019t have a problem with hooking up. They have to have some fun too.<\/p>\n<p><b>What about staff and charter guests? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a no-go zone. I have no idea that happens. That\u2019s fireable. That is not OK. That\u2019s crossing a line. I don\u2019t care what they do when they are signed off the vessel. However, in a professional setting, if you go out on a crew night out and hook up with a charter guest after a charter, that\u2019s not OK. It sets a bad precedent for the rest of the crew and [crosses] a boundary that is [set] in our contract.<\/p>\n<p><b>With the first episode, you have a challenging charter primary to serve right out of the gate. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s okay for a charter guest to have an expectation of the crew. But when they are just blatantly rude, that\u2019s not OK. I think we\u2019re always trying to please the client. There are some things that are out of reach. I\u2019m there to make sure the client is happy. At the same time, they can get a little obnoxious and I have to reel them back in. I do want to make sure they are being pleased. My favorite part is watching the crew flourish, though.<\/p>\n<p><b>What do you think the <\/b><b><i>Below Deck <\/i><\/b><b>franchise is accomplishing when it comes to representation and diversity within the industry? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s opening their eyes.
