Captain Sandy Yawn of Bravo’s “Below Deck Mediterranean” shared her tale of evading pirates at sea during an interview on FOX Business’ “Kennedy.”
The Fort Lauderdale native with greater than three many years of yachting experience said it was “only a day within the life” when a super-yacht on its maiden voyage to the Gulf of Aden caught on fire and have become surrounded by pirates. Being the “calm within the storm” throughout the life or death experience was vital once the boat became inoperable and needed to be rescued by the U.S. Navy.
“Truthfully, you understand, when you might have 13 souls on board which can be trying to you to guide them, and also you go, by the way in which, the pirates are on the way in which. Is a warship going to rescue us or the pirates? It’s very scary,” she explained. “It was a race between the 2.”
The boat’s security, a member of the special forces, instructed Yawn to cover while he pretended to be captain to be able to save their lives.
“That’s where you might have to take heed to individuals who know higher than you, right? Because he’s security. So at first, I used to be like, ‘No, I’m not going below deck,’ after which I used to be like, ‘okay,’ no pun intended. I went below deck.”
Yawn also discussed her recent book “Be the Calm or Be the Storm” and lessons of self-leadership.
“The rationale I wrote the book is because I wanted people to see that somebody can turn their life around after which find yourself in a job like mine that truly I actually love what I do.”
Leadership lessons and being on the show made it possible to write down the book and tell the “real story behind Captain Sandy,” she continued.
“All my leadership lessons I learned through the self, the art of self-leadership, caring for myself first, then I’m capable of handle others,” she said.
When Kennedy asked whether she would slightly navigate narcissists or rough seas Dawn replied; “The latter.”
“Truthfully, rough seas. You’ll be able to navigate narcissism. It’s really difficult,” she said. “So I learned the right way to navigate within the ocean, in the ocean, after which through life with people who find themselves narcissists and who usually are not.”
Dawn also explained how she balances her captain duties in life and on the hit show.
“They respect me as a captain and I like that. It’s like if I say no, we don’t go. Total respect there. And I actually I’m fascinated with logistics and the logistics of constructing the show and being on the show and the crew. Let’s just say there [is] a little bit of work, you understand what I mean? In order that’s a tough one to navigate as well. At the identical time, we’re taking all these people, the producers and the crew on board out to sea and just praying that we make it through.”
