Below Deck’s Captain Lee Rosbach has shared a heartwarming message with fans after returning to close out the charter season.
Captain Lee made a shocking exit from Below Deck earlier in Season 10 due to health concerns, and was replaced briefly by Captain Sandy Yawn.
To the dismay of fans, Sandy sacked a couple of the boat’s interior crew, with stews Camille Lamb and Alissa Humber getting the boot.
However, after receiving medical care, Captain Lee was able to return to the show in episode 14, ‘Big Deck Energy,’ and following the show’s airing, the fan-favorite leader shared a message with his followers.

“Well, I’m back and damn glad to be that way. Thanks so much to everyone for all the kind wishes. You guys have no idea how much that means to me and my bride. You guys are the absolute best,” the Florida man wrote.

“You have no idea how much we missed you!” another viewer commented.
“Captain Sandy did a good job filling in. Too bad people weren’t flexible to the change in management styles. They had to know it was only temporary,” said another.
So grateful 🙏 you are feeling better and back in the Captain’s chair. Captain Sandy did a good job filling in. Too bad people weren’t flexible to the change in management styles. They had to know it was only temporary. Eddie wouldn’t have taken issue.

Hopefully, the Captain remains in good health and we can see him return for additional seasons of Below Deck once this one comes to an end in a few weeks.
