Great show. Lee is tough on the crew and necessary, especially regarding safety. Mistakes that endanger the crew and passengers cannot be taken lightly. I do emphasize with Captain Lee regarding the Sciatica pain and mobility problems. A very difficult to identify and treat. Long recovery and therapy help a lot! The couple have been supportive of each other over the years and bonded together even further following the tragic death of their youngest son, Josh. Some of the yachts that Lee has been a captain of include The Mustang Sally, Atlantica, Insatiable, Morganstar, Mostro, The Cuor di Leone, Ohana and Just Enough amongst many others.A floating paradise that turns heads on the water, this heavenly Benetti vessel comfortably accommodates 12 guests across 6 sumptuous staterooms, with additionalcapacity for up to 12 crew members.

With nearly five decades as a married man under his belt, Lee is one of the best people for the job when it comes to hints and tips for a winning Valentine’s Day.

A lesson not well enough learnt these days. No! This is your birthday present. This is your Valentine’s Day present. This is your birthday card. This is your Valentine’s Day card.”

So with this in mind, of course when C. Lee came our with his book I grabbed it straight away and prepared myself for a good giggle. If you are looking for the same thing, you won't be disappointed. I feel like my rating is probably more like 3.5 stars and it's making me realize my whole rating system is garbage. I usually rate books I don't like a 3 because writing a book seems hard (and 2 is reserved for just the worst, almost no one gets 1). I didn't dislike this book but it also doesn't seem worthy of 4 stars. This autobiography was written before the unfortunate drug overdose death of Captain Lee's adult son. Lee, as a captain has a very wry sense of humor, swears like the sailor he is and doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks about him. This lead me to believe that this colorful man would coauthor a good autobiography. I was disappointed because I'd assumed that it would be about his career as a captain on luxury yachts and that he'd have some good tea to spill, but he doesn't dish at all. I can relate to him about his son’s death. My son also passed due to drug use. He seems so compassionate and sincere. Would like to let him know that I’ll say prayers for his wife, himself, and family.

Just get me something for both days'.

The pair have traveled the world together & spent most of their life on the sea.Thankfully, Lee’s lesson was learned and he now knows better than to treat his wife to household tools when her birthday and Valentine’s Day roll around each year. I have loved watching every show of this series over and over. The scenery is so beautiful and watching the chefs work their magic is enlightening. Don’ like some of the crew (Hannah and a few other superior beings).
