RIDING THE WAVE…CALMLY –
April 18, 2024 – “I was 13 years old and I started washing boats, and then I had to get in trouble a lot, kind of got into the addiction thing. And after I got sober in 1989, my very first job in 1990 was on a boat,” Captain Sandy explained.
“And then from there, a guy gave me an opportunity, he saw that I really wanted to work in the industry, and I was a hard worker. And then he gave me the start, sent me to sea school.”
The Below Deck Mediterranean star worked her way up from scraping barnacles off the bottom of boats to becoming a captain.
Captain Sandy gave credit to the yachting industry for helping her remain sober and allowing her to create a legacy because of the show.
“I have a charity I started because of being on the TV show and the thousands of messages that we get, ‘How do I get in the industry?’” she said.
