Captain Sandy‘s first charter all through season 8 of Below Deck Mediterranean is off to a rocky start.
During the premiere episode, which aired on Monday, September 25, Sandy was once alerted that bosun Ruan Irving‘s paperwork might not be completely accurate.
“In this port — as a result of it is so highly regulated — an MCA officer can board the vessel at any time and it is all a couple of protected operation of the vessel. From life rafts to certificates that we need to hang,” she explained all the way through a confessional after the Officer of the Watch scanned each and every group member’s documents.
According to the officer, Ruan submitted a “no longer certified” medical license. “These are all photocopies of a certified replica,” the officer told Sandy and Ruan. “You should all the time have the originals. The boat may also be detained for that. … On a private boat it is fine. On a commercial yacht, it’s a bit more strict.”
Ruan, for his part, stood by way of the bureaucracy but admitted he didn’t have the originals on him, pronouncing, “I left them in a protected at home so I made certified copies at the police station. I will try to get them sent here.”
In reaction, Sandy asked for Ruan to get his documents shipped once imaginable by means of a friend. Meanwhile, the captain wasn’t allowed to leave the dock till the location was once sorted out.
“That is not OK. We are in a bind. For the MCA officer, he wants originals. There’s a explanation why [he desires them], you'll be able to’t forge an unique,” she defined to the digital camera.
Before Ruan’s bureaucracy arrived, Sandy won a decision from the Port Authority as smartly for the reason that bosun’s Yachtmasters gave the impression to be forged. Sandy tried to scan the record — only for someone else’s photo to pop up.
“You have were given to be freaking kidding me. This is any individual else’s image on Ruan’s certificates. This is main, this is like a whole different degree. This isn't OK,” Sandy noted. “The complete vessel may well be arrested because of one group member.”
Sandy asked Ruan to give an explanation for himself however his version of occasions prompted every other “large red flag” for his boss. After Ruan claimed he received his Yachtmasters on a ship in Monaco, Sandy was fast to show that the process doesn’t work that way.
“On probably the most boats because the price ticket expired, we had to get a price ticket executed quickly. A guy got here at the boat and he issued us our tickets,” he famous earlier than Sandy discussed that he had to “move to elegance” to be properly qualified.
Ruan continued: “I have been on boats for three years with that very same ticket and I swear to God the last thing on my mind is that the price ticket was false.”
Due to the confusion, Sandy had no selection except for to leave Ruan on the dock to verify his documents. She informed Ruan to replace her once he was set and he can be brought back to guide the deck staff.
“I am a factual individual. I'm seeing what I see — it is a downside. Sometimes errors happen, alternatively, I'm more or less thinking this isn’t the case right here,” she shared in a confessional. “Regardless that is actually unhealthy and I am in a horrible scenario having to start the first charter with out a chief stew and now a bosun.”
Later within the episode, Ruan known as to let Sandy know he had no plans to return.

“Sorry about this captain but I don’t assume I am going to get the price tag looked after in time. I don’t want to hold the vessel up any more, I am just going to go back home and I don’t think I am going to come back back,” he informed Sandy over the telephone. “I'm roughly simply deciding to simply call it quits and just head again to South Africa. I'm just going to return house and kind out what I need to sort out.”
Below Deck Mediterranean airs on Bravo Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.
