I’d like to thank my sister Victoria for helping me find a title for this book. This book would not have been possible without Frances Berwick, who championed Below Deck and was instrumental in providing encouragement to start writing down some of my stories. I’d like to thank Shari Levine, Doug and Rebecca Henning, Mark Cronin, and Courtland Cox, whose brilliance, energy, and drive helped get our show off the ground and where it is today. Finally, I’d like to thank my buddy Raj, without whose support and advice I wouldn’t be here.
