Running Against the Tide

True Tales from the Stud of the Sea

De: Captain Lee

Narrado por: Captain Lee

From the star of Bravo’s hit reality show Below Deck comes Running Against the Tide, the “Stud of the Sea’s” first-ever memoir recounting his journey from landlocked Saginaw, Michigan to the high seas, where he has spent more than twenty-five years as a superyacht captain.

The cast members of Below Deck are known for their catfights, scheming, personal attacks, and long-held grudges, but what keeps viewers coming back week after week is resident hero Captain Lee, the only cast member to appear in all five seasons.

But you don’t have to be one of Below Deck’s 1.5 million weekly viewers to appreciate Captain Lee’s story, which offers a glimpse behind-the-scenes at the luxury yachting industry and one of Bravo’s biggest franchises. From having to reclaim his drunk captain's lost papers in the Dominican Republic to unwittingly crewing a drug boat out of Turks and Caicos to navigating the outrageous demands of the super-rich in New York City, Captain Lee's tales from the high seas run the gamut, proving time and time again why he’s a fan favorite: he’s occasionally profane, he’s often surprising, but he’s never dull and, for the first time, he’s here to tell all.

Amazing

I absolutely loved this book! Captain Lee is amazing !!! I so enjoyed hearing about his life’s experiences and how he became the wonderful Captain we know and love today.

Really enjoyable!

Nice to get some of the backstory behind his highly addicting show. Lee has had a very interesting life.

Great book

A very fun and good read from a man that knows from experience Looking forward to the next one

LOVED IT!!! 😍

Will undoubtedly listen to it again. Learned about a new side of the Captain! Very happy with my purchase.

An inspiration for us all!

Great lesson for success and achievement by living life guided by a strong morale compass. A requisite course for millenials and the selfie-generation to be sure!

Great stories by a great captain

Engaging stories narrated by the captain himself. It feels as if you are sitting with him while he spins his tales. Easy to listen to!

Made me LOVE my COMMUTE so I could listen!

Couldn't wait to get in the car and turn on audible to hear the next story. The book was very interesting, about how Captain Lee made his way to Captain and all the stories that came afterward. The book made me feel as though I was sitting at the table with him, listening to his stories, like friends do when chatting. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Sound Production

Loved the book. Love captain Lee. Great stories and well told, would love to hear more. However, you could hear where parts were pieces together. It became a little distracting when it occurred.

Excellent read

One of the best I’ve read (listened to). The stories are interesting and genuine, great lessons to be learned. It reminded me of sitting and listening to my GrandDad’s stories years ago. Highly recommend.

Aye Aye Captain

Love me some Captain Lee! Hardly anything about Below Deck but that almost made it better. What an interesting life!
