From the star of Bravoâs hit reality show Below Deck comes Running Against the Tide, the âStud of the Seaâsâ 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 donât have to be one of Below Deckâs 1.5 million weekly viewers to appreciate Captain Leeâs story, which offers a glimpse behind-the-scenes at the luxury yachting industry and one of Bravoâs 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 heâs a fan favorite: heâs occasionally profane, heâs often surprising, but heâs never dull and, for the first time, heâs here to tell all.
