“I really hate to say goodbye to any of this crew. I would stack them up against anyone. I really would,” Captain Lee Rosbach said in his confessional. “Going on 40 years I have been a yacht captain. Have I seen a lot of crazy sh*t? Is a 40-pound rabbit fat? Yeah. Have I been in situations where I didn’t think I was going to make it through? Oh yeah.”
