An advanced stabilization system on board reduces the side-to-side roll of the yacht and promises guests exceptional comfort levels at anchor or when underway. I love the show Below Deck so couldn't wait to read Captain Lee's story because he is one of my all time favorites.

Appearing three times on the hit show, the 47m (153ft)charter yacht BG (known on the show as VALOR) featured in seasons 7, 5 and 4 of Below Deck, taking charter guests to a variety of sun-kissed and beautiful locations. However, do not let that keep you from reading about an average guy thrust into the spotlight of television. The design of luxury sailing yachtsalso creates far more confined crew areas than we are used to seeing on the original Below Deck. EROS took centerstage in Season 3, and the 161-foot yacht, originally built for the founder of Tim Hortons, was one of the most luxurious featured on the show. She features luxurious accommodations for up to 12 guests and an abundance of deck space, including a sprawling sun deck.Described as being like Downton Abbey on a boat, the yacht is home to an expansivebeauty salon, massage room, gym, jacuzzi and movie theater, so there is definitely enough to keep all charter guests entertained. I have read a few reviewed complaints on that front but to be honest, no where does it promise that is what this book was going to be.

From having to reclaim his drunk captain's lost papers in the Dominican Republic to unwittingly crewing a drug boat out of Turks and Caicos to navigating the outrageous demands of the super-rich in New York City, Captain Lee's tales from the high seas run the gamut, proving time and time again why he’s a fan he’s occasionally profane, he’s often surprising, but he’s never dull and, for the first time, he’s here to tell all. I have watched his show for several years, was watching when his wife joined him, and watched the pain when he lost his son. Maybe I'm spoiled by Below Deck (which gets about the last 15 pages and that's it in this book) and having watched White Squall a hundred times, but I wanted more adventure and more drama.
