The series follows Lee’s journey as the captain of a multimillion-dollar yacht in the Caribbean focusing on the challenges that the crew faces and their everyday life on the boat. He is also a fan of Haute Cuisine and eats at least once a day out in a good restaurant with his wife Mary Anne. I love how I can hear Captain Lee’s voice in this through and through. Very entertaining sea stories and I enjoyed learning a little more about a dude I like watching on TV. He’s awesome and I wouldn’t mind hanging out with him, Kate and Josiah. He seems fun! A floating paradise that turns heads on the water, this heavenly Benetti vessel comfortably accommodates 12 guests across 6 sumptuous staterooms, with additionalcapacity for up to 12 crew members. She also boasts an open-air cinema, a split-level owner's suite and an impressive array of water toys. Lee advised his followers against listening to their partner even if they say one present for both occasions will be fine.

In confessional, Lee explained: "I've made a lot of improvement, I've been spending every day in physical therapy and it was tough. The yacht has traveled far and wide for the show cruising to the jaw-droppingly beautiful St Kitts and Nevis in season 9, the sun-kissed Caribbean in season 8 andthe South Pacificislands of Tahiti in season 6. This book is full of interesting and funny stories about his life and those around him. Readers will get to read about how he unexpectedly fell in love with boats and wanted to become a Captain out on the sea. Great show. Lee is tough on the crew and necessary, especially regarding safety. Mistakes that endanger the crew and passengers cannot be taken lightly. I do emphasize with Captain Lee regarding the Sciatica pain and mobility problems. A very difficult to identify and treat. Long recovery and therapy help a lot! With a sea captain on the front cover, I guess one should expect a bit of sailor's cursing. Captain Lee did not disappoint. Along with tales of debauchery, drugs and drunkenness, this book should stay safely on the adult shelf. However, do not let that keep you from reading about an average guy thrust into the spotlight of television.Obviously, I wasn’t expecting this to be a ground breaking literary memoir. I wasn’t a fan of the format, the chapters seemed a bit run on. That being said, it’s what I expected and I enjoyed it. Offering Sandy a health update, he told the outgoing captain he was "doing great" after treatment for his sciatic nerve.

The one time you do it, you’ll be out on Valentine’s Day or something, see somebody you know and then they’re like ‘oh, you should see what he did one year on my Valentine’s Day. Again, it's not bad but it left me wanting more. I know he has 5 kids but he only ever mentions 1 in the book. I was always curious how he balanced being a captain with family life as he travels so much and absolutely none of that was mentioned. He brings up his wife a bit but it still feels really dismissive of the family related labor she must have put in to support a career that had him gone for weeks or months at a time. On the show he has also frequently mentioned that she worked with him on boats and was a chief stew for some time but this also doesn't come up at all in the book. He usually prefers charter jobs to private ones as he gets to meet more people & has always thought of himself as a people person.
