Risk and Drama on Below Deck Med: Captain Sandy’s Daring Move and Aesha’s Breaking Point
Captain Sandy is forced to do something unexpected on Below Deck Med
Below Deck Med Season 9 will experience a first, not just for the show, but for Captain Sandy Yawn.
The most recent episode ended with a cliffhanger involving anchor problems, which delayed the Mustique yacht’s return to the dock to drop off the charter guests.
Bosun Iain Maclean added fuel to the fire by letting the battery die on the tender so guests could not depart via it.
Thanks to Bravo, we have a look at what’s happening next on Below Deck Med.
It seems to be one issue after another for Captain Sandy and crew while dealing with this anchor debacle.
The guests are getting worried they will miss their flights, forcing an unprecedented decision to be made.

After realizing there’s no way to get the anchor pulled up for now, Captain Sandy decides to leave the anchor. Yes, that’s a thing, and it’s a very risky choice on her part.
In the preview, the captain admits she has never done it before, but at this point, it has become her only choice to get the guests back to the dock. When the tender resumes working order, the wind and choppy water make using it impossible.
Captain Sandy rallies the deck team to prepare to leave the anchor behind. Joe Bradley and Nathan Gallagher are on it, prepping a fender with a bright tap to remind the crew where the anchor was left.
There’s no question that anchor drama has added more stress to a charter that went pretty well. We can only imagine what the captain will say about the mess at the tip meeting.
While the deck team deals with the anchor, chief stew Aesha Scott entertains the guests and deals with her interior problem.

Elsewhere in the video footage, Aesha makes it clear she has no time for the mounting tension between Elena “Ellie” Dubaich and Bri Muller.
