Episode 18 - Au Revoir, Sirocco

Below Deck Med S4 - Hannah and Capt Sandy

In port, the boat catches fire, leaving Sirocco alone without a place to go. Sandy’s harsh comments toward the interior team cause them to grow bitter, while Jack and Aesha mull over life beyond the boat. They wonder if this will be their final yachting excursion together after Sandy criticizes Hannah’s lack of enthusiasm.

Jack and Joao talk about how their friendship has changed through time. It’s hard to think that anyone could dislike our kid from Liverpool. Although Jack talked as slowly as he did, he did increase the tempo, and they were able to settle into a rhythm.
