Early in the charter,Jess raises concerns about the lack of a break schedule for the deckhands.she points out that no one has had lunch, and Bosun Caio seems surprised that she hasn’t taken it upon herself to find time to eat. Jess informs Damo that she intends to address the disorganized schedule with Caio and, if necessary, bring it to Captain kerry’s attention. Caio responds that he is “open to suggestions,” but the break issue is just one of several problems plaguing the deck crew.
On the second day, while sailing to Anguilla, Caio directs Kerry to a snorkeling spot, but then realizes he miscommunicated the location. Kerry is frustrated, fearing he will “look like a clown” in front of the guests. Despite the snorkeling trip being triumphant, Kerry’s patience is tested by what he perceives as Caio’s repeated “schoolboy mistakes.” Further compounding the issues, Kyle spots the banana float drifting away, and Caio brings the guests back 30 minutes early without notice. These incidents lead Kerry to question Caio’s ability to handle his bosun duties.
