Publisher Description
From the star of Bravo’s hit reality show Below Deck comes Running Against the Tide, the “Stud of the Sea’s” first-ever memoir recounting his journey from landlocked Saginaw, Michigan to the high seas, where he has spent more than twenty-five years as a superyacht captain.
The cast members of Below Deck are known for their catfights, scheming, personal attacks, and long-held grudges, but what keeps viewers coming back week after week is resident hero Captain Lee, the only cast member to appear in all five seasons.
But you don’t have to be one of Below Deck’s 1.5 million weekly viewers to appreciate Captain Lee’s story, which offers a glimpse behind-the-scenes at the luxury yachting industry and one of Bravo’s biggest franchises. 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 favorite: he’s occasionally profane, he’s often surprising, but he’s never dull and, for the first time, he’s here to tell all.
Customer Reviews
Fantastic!
Great book! I would highly recommend!
This is NOT a Tell All... or Even a Tell Much About “ Below Deck”
I have great respect for the man from reading about his career. He has definitely earned his stripes and done so with great integrity. Disappointed, though, that I’ll have to wait for the sequel to learn more about “Below Deck,” which is why I bought the book in the first place.
Loved the stories
Although I know the author and many of the stories, it was a fun and informative read. I had forgotten about the day Lee sat in the dental chair in agony while we poked at his knee, feeling for a foreign object. Lee tells it like it is and what you see on TV and in his book is for real. Great first book and looking forward to the stories in the next book that I don’t know yet!
