Rocky waters! Hannah Ferrier and Captain Sandy Yawn have had Under the Mediterranean Bridge viewers have been talking about since the captain joined the franchise in season 2.
Although Hannah and Sandy didn’t always agree on how to handle things on the boat, they were able to work together during charter season. In Season 5, their professional relationship reached a turning point when Boatswain Malia White reported the chief stew to have Valium and a CBD vape pen in his cabin.
The Divided Captain Under the bridge fans with his decision to fire Hannah – who had been on the show since its premiere in 2016. After the controversial exit aired on Bravo, the duo continued to make headlines with their back-and-forth over the situation.
At the time, the Australia native revealed that her former boss had been trying to contact her since she left.
“She messaged me when I announced my pregnancy and asked for an address to send something to and I didn’t respond,” the Ocean International Training Academy founder exclusively shared. We Weekly in May 2021. “I sometimes feel with her… that she’s not being honest with herself. Like she says, like, ‘Oh, that wasn’t personal,’ like, the dismissal. I was like, ‘It’s kind of funny because Kat [Held] had prescription drugs that Captain Lee had discovered and she was not fired. There was no need to fire me for that. It was one hundred percent personal, but I guess anything that helps you sleep at night.
Hannah noted that her decision to step away from yachting has allowed her to discuss the past, adding: “I think sometimes people are confused because I’ve felt that way and thought that way for many, many years, but the only reason i can like to talk about it now is because i know i will never work with her again.
Sandy, for his part, explained that there was nothing personal about the shooting.
“When the level of trust is broken for me as a captain, I don’t take anyone out to sea,” the Florida native shared with We in September 2021. “People [tried] take my license over the years, really, because of things that happen [with the] crew.”
The former Bravo personality, who has been open about her struggles with anxiety, threw shade at Sandy when it came to conversations about mental health. In August 2021, the official account of Under the bridge posted a clip of the crew discussing the “anxiety and worry” that accompanied the newcomer Delaney Evans.
Hannah responded to the post, writing, “Hope you don’t need meds for this anxiety.”
Five months later, the former simmering chef claimed there had been issues between the duo from the start.
“The way things can be edited – it was probably edited in a way where it looks like we were better than we were in the years before we filmed together,” she alleged on the “Kyle & Jackie O Show” podcast in January 2022, about how his shooting turned out differently on screen. “We weren’t friendly at all. It was every season to sit down with production, “How do we get these two to work together where it’s an environment where they can [coexist]?’”
