Captain Sandy made the decision to leave the Mustique's anchor in the middle of the ocean after a technical error on 'Below Deck Mediterranean'
It's expensive to charter a boat on Below Deck Mediterranean — and it costs even more when something goes wrong.
The captain admitted it was 'a risk' to leave their anchor. A message flashed across the screen clarifying that if they weren't able to get their anchor back, a new anchor and chain costs more than $65,000. 'We are putting reflective tape around the buoy that is holding our chain,' Sandy detailed in a confessional. 'If you saw the movie Jaws, they did the same thing so they could see where the shark was. Hopefully it works out better for us.'
'Divers, they go down with airbags and they float it up. Now to put the chain back on board, they put a line through the hole that goes through the boat that the chain travels through,' Sandy shared. 'We wrap that around the drum of the windlass and then haul it in. Smooth operation.' 'Right now the wind is getting worse, and we have a boat on our port side and another boat that just pulled in front of us,' she said about the complications. 'Typically I wouldn't take the risk to leave the dock, but because we have so much smoke coming in, I have to get this vessel off the dock, so I am going to take the risk.'
