It looks like Under deck Fans wish Captain Lee a safe journey. In a heartbreaking cliffhanger during Monday night’s (December 13) episode, the beloved “Boat Daddy” revealed he was leaving the yacht due to his ongoing health issues.
In the tenth season of the show, which currently airs on Bravo, fans have seen Lee struggle with nerve issues that caused half his body to feel numb, making it difficult for him to walk. In the final seconds of the latest episode, The Thunder From Down Under, the captain can be seen limping into a crew meeting on crutches.
“As you know, I struggle with my mobility. And it was hard and I let you down. And I apologize for that,” he told his staff. “So I made a decision to get off the boat.”
Meanwhile, grieving fans have taken to Twitter to share their love for The Stud of the Sea. one wrote, “My heart goes out to Captain Lee. That must be so frustrating.”
Other said, “#BelowDeck will never be the same without Captain Lee (@capthlr). My best wishes go with him that he finds the right specialists who can help him on the road to recovery. It’s heartbreaking to see someone who is no longer able to do the job they love. Let’s hope it’s only temporary.”
“I love and respect Captain Lee SO MUCH,” a third person added. “I don’t know him personally, but I couldn’t help but sob when he said he was getting off the boat.”
“Oh, Captain Lee is gonna make me cry tonight,” someone else authorizedwhile another said“NO CAPTAIN LEE I need more of you this season you are our boat daddy.”
Although a person said they “understand his decision,” they are “so depressed about it.”
Another fan wrote, “Captain Lee is and will always be the stud of the seas. Have some respect for the GOAT of #BelowDeck.”
While we’re not sure who will take over for Captain Lee for the rest of the season, we could suggest the handsome Captain Jason from Below Deck Down Under? Just an idea!
In the meantime, we’ll just have to wait and see who follows in his big footsteps and when Under deck airs Mondays at 8/9c on Bravo.
