Below Deck Down Under

Previously on "Below Deck Down Under"...

This is nice.

Look at that.

I could get used to this.

-Which part? -All of it.

I think you make out like you couldn’t be with anyone,

but you don’t actually want to be with anyone.

I don’t mind being with someone.

Yeah.

I have a reputation when it comes to women

and who I was in my past.

But there’s no doubt that I’ve changed.

Magic touch.

Feeling pretty good in laundry, feeling good in housekeeping.

What I learn the most is when I’m up helping Aesha in service.

If you’re ever like, I don’t want to be night girl,

I would be down to try it.

Maybe like just another one or two,

just to keep practicing.

I have a very serious request.

All the men are going to be in budgie’s tomorrow morning.

And I’m not gonna in them.

Yes, you are.

This is your budgie brunch.

Yay!

Deck team. Get ready for anchor.

Wait, no, no, no, stop, stop, stop.

That’s a up.

Deck point of view, you do struggle

when it comes to actual deck experience.

The severity of what just happened.

I’m leaning towards letting Adam go.

Culver, you jumped in the tender,

but it’s still got sh-- in it and it’s still got sand.

So if you don’t mind cleaning it up,

and that’s what I was saying about initiative.

If you see something, just do it.

If anyone deserves a firing, it’s Culver.

I’m thinking about bringing in someone with experience.

Culver’s not being called out for the safe things

because he’s not doing anything.

I’ve caught Culver doing a lot less than anyone else.

And that’s what I’m concerned about.

I’m over this.

-It has to be put to bed. -Hundred percent.

I’m thinking about bringing in a lead deckhand.

Someone with experience.

Look, at the end of the day, I think I can get Adam

to figure his stuff out to be on my side to work.

I don’t know if I can do it with Culver.

It’s just that I’ve been working with them on deck

and it’s quite tough.

Disappointing. I had the same issues last year.

Yeah.

However...

I’ve got Adam in my mind.

I’m listening to Joao.

I’m not going to dismiss what he’s saying.

I think his situation with Culver can be managed

and something he can learn to manage.

Plus, Adam releasing the anchor whilst underway

to me, this was too close to comfort.

Ten years ago, I pulled into Singapore

and saw crew member die on the fore-peak of a vessel

from the same thing, a chain going in.

These things happen and we need to be responsible on deck.

Now, if I can remove one and bring someone else in

that’s got some experience and then shake the other one up,

-so that’s kind of in my head. -Okay.

Righto, we’ll be arriving probably

in the next 10 to 15 minutes.

Let’s rally the troops.

I’ll get everyone up.

my life.

Interior. Interior, Joao.

Be ready in about 10 minutes. I’ll meet you guys on deck.

-Should I change soon? -Yeah, you can get changed.

They’ve already made the room look beautiful.

Ugh.

Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.

This is going to be an interesting docking in the rain.

Visibility is bad.

Yeah, less than two miles.

You know we only come on this boat for two nights, right?

Oh, God, I’ve got all this stuff, too.

I love how you call it a spray jacket.

What do you call it?

-A rain jacket. -Oh.

When would I throw the bow line?

So you’ll throw it as soon as they get their spring off.

-For me? -Yes.

Okay, aft deck, I’m ready to go in when you are.

We have 40 meters to go forward.

Bow is 40 meters from the dock.

Are you going to pull them up a little bit?

Pull yours up just a tad.

Last time we were docking, I made an incredible mistake.

But then also, I haven’t stopped thinking

about the anchor situation since it happened.

So as we’re coming into the dock,

I’m so worried I’m going to make another mistake here.

Oh, man. Like...

-Keep an eye on that. -Yeah, I got this.

-Yeah, I got this. -Two meters from the dock.

We are sending our spring line on now.

Thank you. The stern line is locked off.

Bow line on.

Okay, tighten that crossover up.

We’re all tight.

Okay, that’s good. Fenders in. Good work, team.

Okay, luggage and penguin suits.

And back that up just a bit. Just a tiny bit.

Done.

Adam, don’t steal my things.

Taking them back to Brooklyn.

All crew, all crew, can we meet on the aft deck?

Fun idea.

Get used to life on land again.

Right.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

-Thank you very much, sir. -You’re a legend.

Oh, my God, thank you so much. This was like the best thing.

I’m glad you got everything out.

Yeah, we did.

I would say that Harry tolerated our minor sexual harassment.

Like, that was great.

The food was the best food I’ve ever had.

Literally so good.

I really appreciate everything.

Well, thank you guys so much.

-Thank you. -You guys have been so lovely.

-Bye! -Thanks, guys.

-See you later. -Bye.

-We’ll see you later. -See you.

All right, guys. Good docking.

Let’s get our blues back on. We know the drill.

Thank you.

Hey, hey.

-Are you happy? -Yeah, bro.

Stop ----ing asking me that.

-I’m just checking. -No, mate. Stop checking.

Don’t you want me to check if you’re happy?

-No. -All right.

This is my least favorite bed by far.

Well, just because it’s so poofy.

Yeah.

Is there a deckhand free for 10 minutes?

Joao, Joao, do you copy?

Can you pop up to the bridge, mate, please?

-Copy. -Hey, yo.

Hi. I need the boxes for this.

Was it just sauce?

Yeah, then here’s the spaghetti.

You can go check the fridge downstairs.

These definitely got to go down.

How’s it going, Cap?

I’ve taken in what you’ve said.

However, my decision is to let Adam go.

Based solely off general deck experience,

anchor being dropped underway.

-There needs to be a change. -Okay.

However, the Culver issue is an issue.

-Yes. -Okay.

So, I’ll be having a word to him.

-Okay. -Saying that he’s very lucky.

Yeah.

Okay, so this is the guy I’ve got now.

-Okay. -He’s got big boat experience.

He’s got small boat experience.

-Jet boat driving. -Right.

As I said, I respect everything you’ve brought to me.

I appreciate it.

So, I’m going to have a tip meeting with them.

-Okay. -I’m going to leave Adam behind.

Okay.

I’ll tell him at the tip meeting.

Okay, no problem.

Yeah, thank you very much, Cap. I appreciate it.

Thank you.

Yeah, it’s... it’s tough.

It’s never nice to let someone go.

I like Adam. I’ve got a lot of empathy for him.

He’s been trained commercially to a high level.

He’s got some good certification.

However, on deck, there’s been too many mistakes.

Unfortunately, I’m six charters into it.

I cannot have unreliability on deck anymore.

You think that’s enough food for the next two days?

Yeah, this is amazing.

All crew, all crew, all crew.

Can we gather in the main salon for a tip meeting, please?

Copy.

-May I? -You may.

Hi.

All right, that was a good charter.

I think we still need to go

a little bit better across the board.

Deck team, we know where we’ve gone wrong.
