In a surprising turn of events, the tranquil waters aboard the St. David yacht in Season 11 of “Below Deck” have been disrupted by the departure of two key crew members. Cat Baugh, the steward who embarked on the journey at the beginning of the season, has bid farewell to the luxurious vessel, citing feelings of inadequacy for the demanding tasks at hand. Baugh’s decision to prioritize her mental health resonated with Chief Steward Fraser Olender, who empathetically acknowledged her struggle.
Meanwhile, Bosun Jared Woodin’s exit from the St. David was marked by a less graceful departure. Woodin’s penchant for misconduct under the influence of alcohol finally caught up with him when he engaged in a heated argument with fellow crew member Kyle Stillie, leading to his dismissal by Captain Kerry Titheradge. Titheradge highlighted Woodin’s failure to uphold leadership standards and acknowledged the personal challenges he was facing, ultimately leading to his departure from the crew.
The departure of Baugh and Woodin has left vacancies onboard, with previews hinting at the arrival of new crew members set to stir up fresh trouble. The introduction of a mysterious new steward sparks immediate intrigue, particularly catching the eye of bosun Ben Willoughby. As tensions rise and shipmances blossom, the future of the crew hangs in the balance, with Captain Titheradge’s looming decisions threatening careers.
Amidst the drama, former “Real Housewives of New York City” star Jill Zarin is set to make an appearance, adding an additional layer of excitement and anticipation for fans of the hit reality series.
Stay tuned as “Below Deck” Season 11 continues to unfold, revealing who stays, who goes, and what new challenges lie ahead for the crew of the St. David.
