Captain Lee Rosbach feels humbled by his health scare

Last week, Captain Lee shared his thoughts about leaving Below Deck. He said that he felt humbled by his health scare. The so-called Stud of the Sea announced his shocking exit from the show. Captain Lee told his crew that his ongoing health issues led him to sit out the rest of the season.

This isn’t something that the seasoned captain didn’t want to do. The yacht captain had hoped that his issues would get better over time. However, he was concerned when he woke up and felt numbness.

“My injury, it’s getting worse. The left side of my body, I don’t feel anything,” Captain Lee explained in his confessional interview. “I expected a lot more progress than I’m experiencing, and the most frustrating part about it is, I can’t do a goddamn thing about it, and it’s hard.”

In a private conversation with Chef Rachel Hargrove, Captain Lee called the decision “one of the  most humbling experiences of my life.” He realized that his health issues could affect the entire crew this charter season. Captain Lee already felt like he let his team down. Yet, his health was the most important thing to focus on.

When did the Below Deck episode take place?

Sources told TMZ that the Below Deck Season 10 crew filmed last Monday’s episode in February of this year. Captain Lee was in terrible shape then. However, he’s recovered ever since then. He’s gotten his health in order and has been hitting the gym ever since.

That explains the ripped photos of Captain Lee from earlier this year. He was spotted lifting heavy like it was nothing. In fact, Captain Lee lifted 175 pounds on a chest press just a few days ago. Fans hope that he will still be a mainstay on Below Deck and he promised that he’s not retiring from yachting.
